the Palestinians.”

He pointed out: “The government’s position expresses the position of all the Iraqi people, with their various segments, spectrums and societal activities, most notably the supreme religious authority, and the effort to stop the aggression. Bloggers have previou
sly contributed to exposing ISIS crimes, as attempts to hide the truth will continue, in parallel with killing and targeting,” stressing the government’s intention to put in place legislation to protect bloggers and support their work within the framework of the law and support credibility.”
