Iraqi MP Visits Israel, Calls for Stronger Ties -Yoav Stern

Iraqi parliament member Mithal al-Alousi [pictured above] spoke at the Institute for Counter-Terrorism in Herzliya and called for stronger relations between Iraq and Israel. Al-Alousi also called for stronger cooperation between Iraq and Israel in fighting terror, and issued a harsh condemnation of Iran, which he accused of meddling in Iraqi affairs.

After his visit to Israel in 2004, several attacks were launched against him including one that left his two sons dead.
