Iraq’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein emphasized that Iraq should not bear the security and financial burden of managing ISIS detainees alone during a call with EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas. They discussed ISIS-related issues, including the recent escape of detainees in Syria, and the importance of Europe’s involvement in facilitating talks between the Syrian Democratic Forces and the Syrian government. Kallas acknowledged Iraq’s willingness to accept transferred detainees, while Hussein reiterated that collective responsibility lies with all involved nations. The U.S. has begun transferring ISIS fighters from Syria to Iraq, with plans for up to 7,000 detainees to be moved to Iraqi facilities.
