On the evening of 2026-08-09, AAH's Al-Ahad TV carried Muntasirun bloc head Falih al-Khazali agreeing with the project of restricting weapons in exchange for three conditions, under a caption stating it does not threaten the state; the conditions themselves are not given in the collected material. Minutes later, KSS-aligned Al-Kornet al-Kata'ibi carried him saying he had submitted a request to the commander-in-chief of the armed forces to place the PMF service and retirement law on the cabinet agenda, describing legislation as necessary in line with government reforms and to regulate the institution's work. Separately, the Sadiqoun MP on Al-Ahad TV said the government had been asked to send the PMF law to parliament and that 94 laws sit with the government including this one.
