Rally held in Gaza to ‘support and thank’ Libyans for rejecting normalization with Israel

A few dozen demonstrators gather in Gaza to express their “support and gratitude” to the Libyan people for rejecting normalization with Israel.
“By dismissing their foreign minister, the Libyan people have shown that they reject any type of normalization with the Zionist entity and their unrelenting support is for the Palestinian people,” Ismail Radwan, a Hamas leader in the enclave, tells the Gaza-affiliated Shehab News.
Libyan Foreign Minister Najla Mangoush was fired on Monday after her Israeli counterpart Eli Cohen announced that the two had held a meeting in Italy. The revelation sparked outrage and protests in Libya.
