HELD JERUSALEM/ BAGHDAD: Israeli Maariv newspaper reported that chief of Iraq’s Muslim Clerics Association, a body that represents Iraqi Sunnis and has accused their oppressed Shia brethren for killing of Sunni religious leaders, held a meeting with Israeli officials on shortening the role of Shias in the country.

Karbala News said that according to the report published last week, the meeting took place on demand of Muslim Clerics Association chief Mathna Harith Ad-Dhari through Qatar at a businessmen club in one of Qatar’s famous hotels.

During the meeting, Ad-Dhari offered Israelis recognition of Israel, establishment of ties, permission to Israeli companies to invest in Iraq, and giving up demand of schedule of American forces withdrawal from Iraq in return of distancing Shias from the government despite they won the elections and are more than 80 percent of the country’s population, and giving greater role to Sunnis.

Maariv reported that Israeli officials have started contact with the United States on Ad-Dhari’s offer.

Meanwhile, Iraqi organizations, leaders, notabilities, tribal chiefs and people have severely condemned as “an attempt to spark fire of sectarianism among united nation” the statements of Sheikh Harith Ad-Dhari in which he accused Badr Organization of terrorism.

The leaders, groups and chieftains in their statements demanded from the Iraqi government to curb such detrimental accounts urging Iraqi people not heed such rift-creating statements.
