Al-Ahad TV airs case for removing the PMF chairman

WHAT HAPPENED

Al-Ahad TV, AAH's official channel, broadcast political analyst Muhammad al-Fandi on 10 August 2026 arguing three points: that the prime minister holds the power to suspend the head of the PMF authority from his post; that the PMF chief's failure to act on the prime minister's notification before the attack on PMF headquarters cannot be passed over in silence; and that there was clear negligence and dereliction by the PMF chairman during what he called the Saudi-American aggression against PMF headquarters. The finding rests on one broadcast segment carried by one channel, with no other tracked channel in the collected window echoing or contesting it.

WATCH

Watch: an AAH principal or Sadiqoun MP repeating the removal argument in his own name; a Badr or KH channel defending the PMF chairman by name; a formal parliamentary or prime-ministerial step on PMF leadership; or any independent account of the alleged notification before the attack — any of these moves this file.
