Former US ambassador to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad warned Iraq will be divided if Iraqi leaders are not able to form a national unity government led by a new prime minister, al-Tagheer TV reported.
The international community must adapt itself to this new reality, he added. Al-Tagheer TV reported Khalilzad called on Shiite parties to introduce a candidate for the prime minister post that will be able to form a partnership government that will remain committed to the power division and end the politicizing of security forces.
