Q - Most foreign journalists imagine that the loyalty of Jews in Iraq is to the Zionist state (Israel) in occupied Palestine
and not to their Arab homeland. What is your opinion as citizens and as a response to the claims and allegations of the foreign press
regarding the persecution of Jews among the citizens of Iraq?
A - First - I have previously stated on several occasions that the loyalty of the members of my Mosaic community in Iraq is to Iraq
and to Iraq only, because we have been Iraqis for thousands of years, living faithfully for this country, and we hope that no one makes the mistake
of doubting our sincerity.
Second - After June of last year, approximately fifty people from the members of the Mosaic community were detained,
and until now, approximately twenty-five people remain under detention. I have personally contacted the authorities
regarding them and was promised their release soon. Likewise, legislations were issued that imposed restrictions on Jews, the last of which
was the legislation issued a week ago. We have previously followed up regarding these various restrictions and will continue to do so, driven by the strong hope
that our just government will lift all these restrictions and treat us as loyal Iraqi citizens
to their homeland and their dear soil.

Jews and Arabs Sir, The Economist magazine has performed a great service when it drew attention (in its issue published on February 17) to the inhumane and unjust treatment carried out by the governments of Arab countries in the Middle East, specifically Egypt and Iraq, towards the remaining Jewish minorities in these two countries since the outbreak of the Arab-Israeli war last June. The Egyptian, Iraqi, and Yemeni authorities were directly involved or conspired in the persecution of Jews and the violation of their human rights, in contrast to the positions of the authorities in both Tunisia and Morocco, as they protected their Jewish citizens from mob attacks against them in the early days of the outbreak of hostilities. In Egypt, 800 Jews were arrested out of a total of 2,500 in Egypt at the start of the war, and they were placed in prisons.

Predecessor Sh A 7 / 12 / 67 750 Baghdad Court of First Instance File Number 6 / 122 / 196 The Iraqi Republic The Baghdad Court of First Instance ⟦Personal Status⟧ was formed on 4 / 7 / 196 by its judge Mr. ⟦Limited⟧ authorized to adjudicate in the name of the people and issued its following judgment: Abdul Jalil Plaintiff: Yaqub bin Salim Yusuf Hay, his lawyers Abdul Majeed Muhammad, Saeed Rashid Mahmoud, and Baqir Allawi Defendant: The Secretary-General for the Supervision and Administration of Frozen Jewish Property, his lawyer Adnan Izzat Ali The plaintiff requested the correction of the distribution of inheritance issued by this court under number 73 / 966 and dated 1 / 10 / 1966 regarding the deceased Ibrahim Munshi Yusuf from the members of the Mosaic community and the limitation of inheritance instead of the entitled heirs, who are the wife of the deceased and his children, and to hand over to him the funds upon which the General Secretariat for Frozen Property has laid its hands, in addition to the property of the heirs whose Iraqi citizenship was revoked, which he estimated at two thousand dinars, and to charge the defendant, in addition to his position, the costs of the lawsuit and attorney fees based on what was stated in the lawsuit petition. The plaintiff's lawyers and Mr. Adnan Izzat Ali, the lawyer for the Secretary-General for Frozen Property in addition to his position, attended according to the two presented powers of attorney. The proceedings were initiated in person and in public. The plaintiff's lawyers repeated what was stated in the lawsuit petition, and the defendant's lawyer requested a delay to review the inheritance distribution file and respond to the basis of the lawsuit. He was granted time and submitted a written response including his defense that the plaintiff is not an heir because the heirs of the deceased, who are his wife and children, are of the first degree, so they are the heirs, and they are among those whose Iraqi citizenship was revoked, and thus their property is frozen and managed by his client according to the provisions of the Law for Revoking Citizenship of Iraqi Jews No. 1 of 1950 and its amendments, and that the plaintiff's standing is not directed, and he requested the dismissal of the lawsuit. The plaintiff's lawyers stated that the heirs of the deceased of the first degree left Iraq for Israel, so they are in a land of war and do not inherit, and the one deprived of inheritance is like any other deprived person. Since the plaintiff is a relative of the deceased and is an Iraqi citizen, he inherits from his Iraqi legator, and the property of the deceased is not frozen or managed by the Secretary-General. They also submitted a written brief dated 23 / 1 / 967 organizing their defenses regarding that. The court inquired from the Directorate of Citizenship about the identity of the heirs of the deceased, and its response arrived numbered 1185 and dated 14 / 3 / 967, in which it stated that (it is difficult for us to provide you with the destination to which the aforementioned Jews departed due to its unavailability to us). Then that Directorate wrote a subsequent letter under number 2228 and date 18 / 5 / 967 including (the fact that the Directorate has re-audited its records and it became clear to it that the Iraqi Jews whose Iraqi citizenship was revoked according to the first and second articles of Law No. 1 of 1950 had been deported at the time from Iraq by air to Cyprus based on Article (4) of the aforementioned law). The plaintiff's two lawyers stated that all the Jews whose Iraqi citizenship was revoked according to Law No. 1 of 1950 were deported ⟦...⟧ To be continued

The defendant stated that the plaintiff's attorneys based their statements on inference, and a judgment cannot be issued based on inference, and that the Secretary-General is the one who manages all the assets of Jews whose Iraqi citizenship has been revoked according to the laws of revocation and the management and monitoring of the assets of Jews whose Iraqi citizenship has been revoked. Each of them repeated their statements, and since there was nothing left to be said, the conclusion of the trial was understood. The Decision / Due to the importance of the plaintiff and the inheritance distribution file No. 73 / 966 brought from this court, and since it appeared from it that the deceased Ibrahim Shashi was of Iraqi nationality and that his heirs are his wife and daughters, their Iraqi citizenship had been revoked before his death, and the plaintiff is one of his relatives and is considered a degree of the inheriting branch who are his daughters and his wife who is a holder of a fixed share, and his other daughters are his sisters of the second degree and closer than one of those who are also from the agnates and of the third degree, and since these heirs had their Iraqi citizenship revoked, their assets are frozen based on the provisions of Laws 1 of 1950, 12 of 1951, and 11 of 1962, and are managed by the Secretary-General for Frozen Assets. As for what was stated in the letters of the Nationality Directorate, it appeared from them that there is a clear contradiction, as it was first mentioned that it is impossible to answer the inquiry contained in the letter of this court No. 122 of 1966 dated 22 / 9 / 967, then the mentioned department sent a subsequent letter No. 2228 dated 18 / 5 / 967 based on the review of the plaintiff's attorney, stating that some Iraqi Jews whose citizenship was revoked had been deported to Cyprus based on Article 4 of the law mentioned in the referred letter. Despite the clarity of the contradiction between the two answers, the letter given to the plaintiff's attorney was devoid of mentioning the names of the heirs of the deceased mentioned in the letter of this court referred to above, and it also includes that the Jews whose Iraqi citizenship was revoked according to the provisions of Articles 1 and 2 of Law No. 1 of the year 950 were sent to Cyprus, and traveling to Cyprus does not mean traveling to Israel, as many of the Jews whose Iraqi citizenship was revoked have taken permanent residence in other countries besides Israel. Accordingly, the plaintiff has failed to prove that the heirs of the deceased are in a territory of war in order to be deprived of inheritance according to the rules of Hanafite jurisprudence which is applied to non-Muslim sects in accordance with the provisions of the Ottoman Constitution the conditional (issued in the year 1908, some of whose articles are still in effect under the proclamation of the Military Governor No. 6 of 1917, which was referred to by the Civil Courts Organization Law No. 32 of the year 947, Article 188. Accordingly, the plaintiff's lawsuit must be dismissed, so the court decided to dismiss it and charge the plaintiff the trial costs and attorney fees for the defendant's attorney in the amount of ten dinars, a judgment rendered in presence, subject to appeal, and was announced publicly on 12 / 6 / 1967.

The aforementioned court issued on 12 / 6 / 1967 under file number 122 / 67 a judgment in presence dismissing the plaintiff's claim due to his inability to prove that the deceased's heirs are in a land of war so that they would be deprived of inheritance according to the rules of Hanafi jurisprudence which applies to non-Muslim sects, and charging the plaintiff the trial costs and the attorney fees of the defendant's counsel. Due to the plaintiff's dissatisfaction with this judgment, his counsel submitted a cassation brief for its review and reversal, and registered his appeal on 3 / 8 / 1967. Decision - Upon review and deliberation - it was found that the appealed decision, in view of the reasons it was based upon, is correct and in accordance with the law.

Personal Status Court in Karrada Succession Number 111 / M / 967 Date 24 / 10 / 967 Judge Mr. Hazim Al-Dabbouni: It has been established from the statement submitted to this court by the Presidency of the Mosaic Community in Baghdad under number 1894 and dated 3/9/967 and the testimony of the two witnesses, the lawyer Mr. Yaqub Abdul Aziz and Naeem Daoud Munshi Al-Attar, residents of the Al-Sa'adoon neighborhood, that Yaqub Haskail Yusuf Lawi died on 21/8/967 and his inheritance was limited to his wife Rachel Munshi Hakkak and his adult children Munshi Maurice, Ezra, Yusuf, Madeline, and Jolene. Upon inquiry from the Directorate General of Nationality, it replied in its letter numbered 847 / 4815 and dated 24/9/967 that the deceased and his son Yusuf retain Iraqi nationality and that the rest of the heirs have had their Iraqi nationality revoked. Upon inquiry regarding the nationality of those whose citizenship was revoked and whether they currently reside in occupied Palestine, it replied in its letter numbered 848 / 5118 and dated 10/10/1967 that it is impossible to know their nationalities and places of residence at the present time. Accordingly, and since an heir must be deprived of his inheritance in this case by verifying that he is in a territory of war (Dar al-Harb) to fulfill the condition of difference of territories, and since it has not been officially proven, and due to the possibility of their presence in other countries, it was decided to consider all the aforementioned as heirs. The inheritance issue is corrected from seventy-two shares, of which the one whose nationality was revoked, Rachel Munshi Hakkak, receives nine shares (under the administration of the General Secretariat for Frozen Assets of Jews). For the Iraqi Yusuf Yaqub Haskail Lawi, fourteen shares. For each of those whose Iraqi nationality was revoked, Munshi and Ezra, fourteen shares (under the administration of the General Secretariat for Frozen Assets). And for each of those whose nationality was revoked, Madeline and Jolene, seven shares (under the administration of the General Secretariat for Frozen Assets), in accordance with the provisions of the Personal Status Law Amendment Law No. 11 of 1963. Note that the heir Yusuf submitted the preliminary report to the Income Tax Directorate for Estates, as stated in its letter numbered 45/4/ 3820 and dated 12/9/967, and requested the organization of the succession. ⟦signature⟧ Judge Hazim Al-Dabbouni A copy of it to / The General Secretariat for Frozen Assets of Jews For your information, please.

Republic of Iraq Presidency of the Court of Cassation of Iraq Baghdad File Number: 11 / Personal / 967 Sequence: 17 The Second Civil and Commercial Panel of the Court of Cassation of Iraq was formed on 22 / 4 / 1967 under the presidency of Vice President Mr. Abdul Hamid Kubba and the membership of judges Messrs. Sadiq Al-Khudairi, Qasim Abdul Hamid, Shaker Al-Ani, and Anwar Al-Waswasi, authorized to adjudicate in the name of the people, and issued the following decision:- Appellant - Ibrahim Yaqoub Aini Appellee - The Director General of the General Secretariat for the Administration and Supervision of the Property of Jews whose Iraqi citizenship has been revoked. Ibrahim Yaqoub Yusuf Aini (nicknamed Aini) claimed before the Court of Personal Matters in Baghdad that the same court had issued a distribution of estate (Qassam) on 4 / 12 / 964 under number 98 / 65 regarding the death of Khadouri Yaqoub Yusuf Aini, of Iraqi nationality, and limited his legal inheritance to his wife and children only. Since the heirs are among those whose citizenship was revoked, and their revocation occurred before the death of their legator, they are not considered heirs by operation of law. Since he is the brother of the deceased and has retained his Iraqi citizenship, the inheritance of his brother in this case passes to him. The defendant, the Secretary-General for the Administration and Supervision of the Property of Jews whose Iraqi citizenship has been revoked, in his official capacity, has taken possession of the estate. Therefore, he requests the summoning of the Qassam and a judgment to correct the Qassam and hand over his share of the inheritance based on the provisions of the Personal Status Law No. 188 of 1959 and its amendment No. 11 of 963, and to charge the defendant with the trial costs and attorney fees. The aforementioned court issued a judgment in the presence of the parties regarding 966 on 26 / 12 / 966 stating therein, after referring to the summoned Qassam file which is under number 98 / 65 and what was recorded therein of statements and the documents attached to it, including the certification issued by the Presidency of the Mosaic Community in Baghdad numbered T / 1658 / 65 and dated 17 / 8 / 65, which includes the death of Khadouri Yaqoub Yusuf Aini, nicknamed (Aini), in Montreal, Canada, on 21 / 5 / 964, and the limitation of his inheritance to his wife and children, male and female. Also, the other certification issued by the Presidency of the aforementioned community, which is under number T / 168 / 65 and dated 21 / 12 / 65, which includes that the aforementioned deceased left upon his death, in addition to what was mentioned in the first certification, brothers and sisters whose names are recorded in the second certification, including the plaintiff named Ibrahim Yaqoub Yusuf Aini, nicknamed Aini. Accordingly, the plaintiff, who is one of the full brothers of the deceased, is considered among the class of heirs by kinship. However, Article (89) of the Personal Status Law No. 188 of 1959, as amended by Law No. 11 of 963, has specified how heirs by kinship inherit, making - the parents and children, and their descendants, with the male receiving twice the share of the female, take precedence over the grandfather, grandmothers, and brothers.

Republic of Iraq Presidency of the Court of Cassation of Iraq Baghdad ⟦stamp: emblem of the Republic of Iraq⟧ File Number: 91 / Personal / 1967 Sequence: 2/2 and sisters, and therefore the plaintiff, the full brother of the deceased, is excluded from the inheritance due to the presence of someone who takes precedence over him, who is the inheriting son, especially since there is a difference between the excluded and the deprived; for if the deprived person does not exclude other heirs at all, unlike the excluded person who affects others, as in that ⟦change⟧ which our judicial case does not require explaining due to its lack of relevance to the point under investigation, and therefore the children of the deceased and his wife are the ones entitled to the estate. Since all these heirs have had their Iraqi citizenship revoked, as stated in the letters of the Travel Directorate numbered 271, 936, and 1582, dated 10/24/65, 11/17/65, and 10/17/66 respectively, and based on the provisions of the third phrase of paragraph (d) which was added to the amended Article Five of the Law Supplementing the Law for the Supervision and Administration of the Property of Jews whose Iraqi Citizenship has been Revoked No. 12 of 1951, and under the provisions of Article One of Law No. 161 of 63, that phrase which stipulates the freezing of the assets of every Jew whose Iraqi citizenship has been revoked and the freezing of his assets from the date of the entry into force of this Law No. 157 of 163 issued on 12/28/1963 and the application of the provisions of Law No. 5 of 1951 against him, i.e., the Law for the Supervision and Administration of Jewish Property. Since the deceased, Khedhouri Yaqoub Youssef Ani (the decedent), died on 5/11/64 in Canada, and his heirs entitled to his estate at that date retained their Iraqi citizenship and it was not revoked from them until 11/17/1964, as indicated by the aforementioned letter from the Director of Travel, then they (the heirs) entitled to the inheritance had their Iraqi citizenship revoked at a date subsequent to the death of their legator. Therefore, the provisions of the aforementioned third phrase of paragraph (d) are applicable to the assets regarding what devolved to them from the estate of their aforementioned legator. Accordingly, it was necessary to proceed limited to the legal grounds contained therein, and therefore the court must reject it. Thus, in view of what was mentioned, the court decided to reject it and charge the plaintiff with the costs. Due to the dissatisfaction of the plaintiff, Ibrahim Yaqoub Ani, with this judgment, he submitted a cassation brief as an appellant for himself, and his appeal was registered on 7/25/1967. The Decision / Upon scrutiny and deliberation, it was found that the appealed judgment, based on the reasons it relied upon, is correct and in accordance with the law. It was decided to ratify it, reject the cassation objections, and charge the appellant the fee. The decision was issued by consensus on 8/22/1967.

Iraqi Gazette Issue 1437 11/7/1967 Explanatory Statement For the Law Amending the Foreign Exchange Control Law No. (19) of 1961 A large number of packages belonging to old cases suspended due to violations committed against the effective Foreign Exchange Control Law have accumulated at the Central Bank. Since it has become impossible to try the accused for these violations due to their unknown addresses and the inability to dispose of the contents of the packages, including money and jewelry, unless the violation itself is considered because they are exhibits of the criminal case, and because the Iraqi criminal system does not accept the principle of the statute of limitations on crimes, and to solve this problem and in order not to miss the opportunity to benefit from the contents of these packages of money and jewelry, especially since some of the contents of the packages of money and checks may lose their legal status as an instrument of exchange due to their cancellation by the issuing authority, as is the case with the currencies of some foreign countries, or the passage of time on them, such as traveler's checks which are for a specific period, this law was enacted to allow the trial of those accused of violating the provisions of the Foreign Exchange Control Law in absentia after notifying them through local newspapers to appear before the judicial committee within a certain period and sending the net value of the jewelry, money, and other funds seized for violations committed under it to the Central Treasury after the end of five years from the date the judgment becomes final for funds with a known owner, and five years from the date of seizure for funds with an unknown owner without the need for an announcement. In order to put an end to the entry of Iraqi banknotes into Iraq by illegal means, it was found necessary to include a provision in the Foreign Exchange Control Law prohibiting the entry of Iraqi banknotes into Iraq unless they are within the limits permitted under the Foreign Exchange instructions. ⟦line⟧ No. 597 | No. 600 Republican Decree | Republican Decree Based on what was presented by the Minister of Justice. | Based on what was presented by the Minister of Justice.
