Iraq’s parliament took a major step towards approving its national budget after overcoming disagreements about how to manage oil revenue from the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region, which had held up passage for three days. Voting on the budget bill began on Thursday. MPs had approved two dozen of the 67 sections of the critical legislation by the early hours of Saturday morning, but hit an impasse over Article 14.
