Between 18:00 and 18:49 on August 25, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) repeatedly aired demands that Falih al-Fayyad appear before parliament concerning the alleged targeting of the PMF. Guests Muhammad al-Kaabi and Mi’raj al-Hadidi described nonappearance as a “dangerous precedent,” raised parliamentary escalation, and said failure to enact the PMF law enabled al-Fayyad to remain in office; neither guest was identified as an AAH official.

“Al-Fayyad is required to attend parliament to disclose the circumstances of the targeting; al-Fayyad’s failure to appear before parliament is a “dangerous precedent” that could open the door to chaos; al-Fayyad’s failure to attend parliament could lead to parliamentary escalation; failure to enact the PMF law gave al-Fayyad the opportunity to remain in office.”
الفياض مطالب بالحضور إلى البرلمان لكشف ملابسات الاستهداف؛ عدم مثول الفياض أمام البرلمان "سابقة خطيرة" قد تفتح باب الفوضى؛ عدم حضور الفياض إلى مجلس النواب قد يفضي إلى تصعيد نيابي؛ عدم إقرار قانون الحشد أتاح للفياض فرصة البقاء في منصبه
Compared with the initial demand for testimony, the later tenure criticism places PMF leadership control itself inside the parliamentary dispute.
