Iraq’s parliament approves the government program and part of the Cabinet lineup for Prime Minister-designate Ali al-Zaidi, according to reports. The decision covers the government program alongside only some ministerial appointments, rather than a complete Cabinet slate. The approval indicates progress in forming the new government, but it leaves the remaining Cabinet posts to be settled later. The development follows parliamentary consideration of the proposed lineup presented by al-Zaidi, with lawmakers granting initial authorization for both the program and the first set of ministers. Other roles are expected to be addressed in subsequent steps as the government formation process continues. The reports do not specify the names of the ministers approved or the size of the remaining unfilled positions, focusing instead on the parliamentary vote for the partial Cabinet and the governing program.
