Prime Minister Abdul Hamid al-Dbeibeh visits the Palestinian embassy in Tripoli amid protests over his foreign minister meeting her Israeli counterpart and vows there will be no normalization with Israel, the Libya Observer news site reports.
During his visit, al-Dbeibeh again reiterates that he had no knowledge of Foreign Minister Najla Mangoush’s meeting in Rome with Eli Cohen, and says he has fired her.
During the meeting al-Dbeibeh “reaffirms Libya’s refusal to normalize relations with the Zionist entity,” the report says.
Libyan officials have said al-Dbeibeh was aware of the meeting and gave the go-ahead amid US-brokered talks to reach a normalization deal with Jerusalem.
