Diplomats From States Supporting Israel Demanded to Leave Libya by Parliament
In response to Hamas' attack against Israel on October 7, the Jewish state launched airstrikes on targets in the Gaza Strip, including civillian ones. This resulted in over 7,000 deaths with more than 18,000 people injured in the region, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
Libyan eastern-based parliament required ambassodors of the countries backing Israel to leave the North African state, particularly the envoys from the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Italy, according to the body's
statement.
"We demand that the ambassadors of the states which support the Zionist entity [Israel] in its crimes leave the territory [of Libya] immediately," the statement said.
In addition, the parliament said that if the "massacres" against
the Gaza residents continue, Libya will halt the energy supplies to the abovementioned states.
"If the massacres committed by the Zionist enemy [Israel] do not stop, we demand that the Libyan government suspend the export of oil and gas to the states that support it," it continued.
The document noted that the parliament condemned "in the strongest terms" the actions of "the governments of the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Italy," adding that these countries "support the Zionist entity in its crimes" in the Gaza Strip, while their leaders "lecture on human rights and the right of peoples to self-determination".
On October 7, Palestinian group Hamas launched a surprise large-scale rocket attack against Israel from the Gaza Strip; Israel responded by declaring a state of
war and launching strikes on targets in the region, civillian facilities as well.
One of the resonant strikes was the one on the Al-Ahly
Hospital in Gaza on October 17. Hamas put the blame for this attack on the Israeli forces, while Israel said, in turn, that the hospital was hit by a misfired rocket of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group.
Following the hospital blast, Libyans accross the country reportedly took to the streets expressing their solidarity with the Palestinians. Along with Libya, numerous nations, including Russia, Venezuela, Qatar, Egypt and Greece, have
expressed outrage over the strike on the hospital, condemning the attack on the civilian infrastructure.
