On August 26, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) aired Abbas al-Aqabi saying Faleh al-Fayyad’s nonattendance could turn parliamentary hosting into interrogation, potentially leading to removal if negligence were established. Ahmad al-Miyali separately raised alleged reporting failures, opposition to political figures leading security institutions and the PMF’s relationship with the commander-in-chief; the channel framed the coverage as parliamentary accountability while stating that Fayyad’s right of reply was guaranteed.

“Fayyad’s refusal to attend parliament will turn the hosting into an interrogation; interrogation is a serious legal matter that could remove the official if negligence is proven; Fayyad’s failure to comply with parliament’s invitation showed the PMF was not subordinate to the commander-in-chief; Fayyad faces parliamentary accountability—the right of reply is guaranteed.”
امتناع الفياض عن الحضور الى البرلمان سيحول الاستضافة الى استجواب؛ الاستجواب مسألة قانونية خطيرة ويمكنها اقالة المسؤول اذا ثبت تقصيره؛ عدم امتثال الفياض لاستضافة البرلمان اظهر الحشد غير مرتبط بالقائد العام؛ الفياض أمام مساءلة برلمانية.. حق الرد مكفول
Compared with al-Aqabi’s legal argument, al-Miyali’s framing placed the PMF leadership model and relationship with the commander-in-chief under wider scrutiny; the channel’s caveat stopped short of endorsing the guests’ conclusions as an AAH leadership position.
