Libyan Presidential Council leader Mohammed Menf called on Government of National Unity Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dabaiba to provide an explanation regarding a meeting between Foreign Minister Najla Mangoush and her Israeli counterpart Eli Cohen.

In a letter to Dabaiba seen by Alwasat on Sunday, Menfi said the meeting between Mangoush and Cohen "does not reflect the foreign policy of the Libyan state," and is "a violation of Libyan laws that criminalize normalization with the Zionist entity."

Menfi explained that his directive is based on the outcomes of the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum signed in Geneva on November 7, 2020, which entrusts the Presidential Council to follow up and supervise the foreign policy file.
