Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) aired Al-Asas Coalition leader Adnan al-Jabri on 22 August saying his coalition adds its voice to the Sadiqoun parliamentary bloc in expediting a vote on the PMF law, that parliament needs accurate information on the file of the aggression against PMF headquarters, and that those negligent in failing to report it must be held accountable. Al-Ahad TV separately carried al-Salihi saying Sadiqoun's efforts had produced a date for sending the PMF law forward. The attack on PMF headquarters is referenced only in the speaker's words; the supplied evidence carries no account of the incident itself.

Routing both the law and the headquarters-attack file through parliamentary procedure gives the PMF's political backers a state instrument for both funding status and an accountability inquiry.
