On 5 September, political analyst Muhammad al-Zaydawi and security expert Wathiq al-Jabri, speaking on Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official), demanded that PMF chairman Faleh al-Fayyad appear before parliament and disclose what he knew about a reported Saudi strike on PMF headquarters. Al-Zaydawi alleged that the prime minister had warned the PMF leadership and faulted Fayyad for not evacuating the headquarters; al-Jabri described delayed notification as a security failure that could have been deliberate and called for intensified parliamentary pursuit.

“According to the information and statements, the prime minister informed the PMF leadership of the Saudi strike; Fayyad should have worked to evacuate the targeted headquarters; Fayyad is obliged to attend parliament and disclose his information about the targeting of PMF headquarters.”
رئيس الوزراء أبلغ رئاسة الحشد الشعبي بالضربة السعودية بحسب المعلومات والبيانات؛ كان الاجدر بالفياض العمل على اخلاء المقرات المستهدفة؛ الفياض ملزم بالحضور الى البرلمان والافشاء بمعلوماته حول استهداف مقار الحشد

“The delay in notifying Fayyad to evacuate the headquarters was a security failure that could rise to deliberate security malfunction; parliament should hold Fayyad accountable for failing to report the attack and intensify its pursuit of him.”
تأخر تبليغ الفياض باخلاء المقرات اخفاق أمني وقد يرتقي الى الخلل الامني المتعمد؛ يجب على البرلمان محاسبة الفياض على عدم الابلاغ عن الاعتداء وتصعيد ملاحقته
Both guests direct action through parliament rather than announce faction action, while al-Jabri’s reference to possible deliberate failure sharpens the allegation beyond al-Zaydawi’s criticism of Fayyad’s handling.
