Iraq's parliament approves partial cabinet for Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi
Iraq's new Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi was sworn in on Thursday after parliament voted to approve his government program and 14 ministers, meeting the constitutional threshold of half-plus-one ministerial approvals. However, parliament failed to reach consensus on several key posts, including interior and defence, leaving the full 23-minister cabinet incomplete as negotiations continue among political parties.
