AAH channel airs back-to-back attacks on PMF chief Fayyad

WHAT HAPPENED

Al-Ahad TV posted two items ten minutes apart around midday on 21 August, both on PMF chairman Falih al-Fayyad's failure to appear before parliament. Political analyst Dawoud al-Halfi said the absence represents "acceptance" of the strike on the PMF; legal expert Dhafer al-Zarfi called it "a condemnation and a dereliction." Both are guests on AAH's own channel; no AAH official statement on Fayyad appears in the collected material, and neither speaker's faction is stated in the evidence.

عدم حضور الفياض للبرلمان يمثل "قبولاً" بالضربة على الحشد

In posting order. Translated by the desk, published as evidence — not endorsement.

WHY IT MATTERS

Criticism of the PMF chairman aired twice on a faction's own television, with no comparable line elsewhere, marks a fault line over who answers for the PMF in front of parliament.
