A guest on Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) called for parliament to question PMF Commission chairman Faleh al-Fayyad over the reported Saudi strike on PMF headquarters, potentially leading to dismissal. He asked why the headquarters had not been evacuated. The demand followed four Al-Ahad segments challenging Fayyad’s tenure, dual role and absence from parliament, although the speakers differed over whether to emphasize governance or parliamentary oversight.
FAA (Ansar Allah al-Awfiya — official) promoted a lawmaker’s account of committee work on amendments to Labor Law No. 37 of 2015. It said the proposal had completed its first reading and that dialogue with state bodies would continue, but no parliamentary record separately confirmed that stage.
On the weapons file, press reports described disagreements over the deadline and mechanism for faction disarmament, while the government maintained that weapons must be restricted to the state. Sources also said Iran was pressing Iraq against disarming armed groups.
Al-Kornet al-Kata'ibi (KSS — affiliated) blamed poor PMF management, leadership and media performance after an Egyptian media personality described the PMF as terrorist forces. The channel defended the PMF but said internal weakness had damaged its image and performance; no KSS leader issued the criticism.
Al-Janoub TV (Harakat al-Jihad wal-Bina — official) contrasted the al-Zaydi government’s reform promises with stalled procedures after more than 100 days in office.
On parliament, Al-Ahad promoted Sadiqoun efforts to restore and pass the PMF law under First Deputy Speaker Adnan Fayhan, who is an AAH commander. A guest alleged that the government withdrew the measure for political aims, while the channel separately said AAH's Sadiqoun was intensifying passage efforts. Neither item supplied a parliamentary timetable.
