Abu Turab al-Tamimi (Badr parliamentary bloc) told Al-Ghadeer TV (Badr Organization — official) on 26 August that faction weapons would be surrendered only after unspecified conditions were implemented. Qusay al-Shabaki, speaking on Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official), described the process as regulation of faction weapons, said the factions’ role could not be abolished, and proposed linking weapons control to ending the Turkish presence; he separately said part of the Peshmerga remained outside state institutions.

“The handover of faction weapons is contingent on implementing the conditions.”
تسليم سلاح الفصائل مرهون بتطبيق الشروط
The principal difference is over framing and scope: Badr presents a conditional transaction, while al-Shabaki argues that weapons policy must preserve a faction role and address other armed presences.
