Iraqi coalitions look to break political deadlock
The proposals come as Iraqi cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's 40-day window to form a government draws to a close.
The process of forming the new government in Iraq has come to a halt due to the lack of agreement between Iraq's political parties.
The parliament is divided into two rival blocs: the Saving the Homeland alliance (SH) and the Coordination Framework (CF).
SH includes the Shiite Sadrist movement, the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Sunni Sovereignty Alliance.
The CF includes Nouri al-Maliki’s State of Law Coalition and the Fatah Alliance, which is associated with some of the Popular Mobilization Units factions and a few other small Shiite groups, in addition to an alliance with a small number of Sunni members of parliament and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan.
