The meeting between Foreign Minister Najla Al-Munqush and his Israeli counterpart in Rome, the Prime Minister’s forced suspension of his cabinet member, the announcement of a high-level investigation, and the protesters’ threats to force Prime Minister Abdulhamid Al-Dibiya to resign all caused great sadness among the public. Unrest, violence and chaos in Libya
There is agitation across the nation as a result of the meeting between the Israeli equivalent to the Libyan foreign minister, Eli Cohen, and Najla Al-Munkhosh. Across the nation, people are against it. There are large-scale protests going on. While demonstrators demand the resignation of the prime minister and the removal of the whole government, the nation’s premier, Abdulhamid al-Dabiyya, has been compelled to temporarily suspend his important cabinet minister.
The Israeli ambassador Eli Cohen met with the Libyan foreign minister Najala Al-Maqosh in Rome, the capital of Italy, according to a report by the Qatari broadcaster Al Jazeera. There is a general feeling of unease in Libya over this, as well as tremendous indignation among the populace.
In a statement, his Israeli counterpart, Eli Cohen, claimed that Najala al-Munkhoosh and he held a private meeting at an Italian venue in Rome. Najla-ul-Munkosh, on the other side, said that it was not a regular meeting because no official negotiations were conducted during it. Noting that Libya has historically been anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian, Tripoli consistently backed the Palestinians, even under Muammar Gaddafi. People are firmly opposed to this conference and are protesting in the streets as a result.
In its report, Al Jazeera noted that on Monday, a sizable crowd gathered in front of the Libyan capital city of Tripoli’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs building. The tyres were burning in the interim. On this occasion, the protesters were yelling slogans and calling for the dismissal of Najla Al-Munqush, the foreign minister of Libya. What matters is that some protesters called for Abdulhamid al-Dabiba, Libya’s prime minister, to resign as well. Protesters in big numbers gathered in front of his home. The Prime Minister’s mansion was attempted to be set on fire by the protesters. It was unclear whether Abdul Hameed Al-Dubai was at home at the time of the incident until the news was reported.
Al-Manqoosh’s meeting with his Israeli counterpart is reportedly sparking unrest throughout Libya, according to Malik Tarina of Al-Jazeera who was in Tripoli for live video reporting. The populace has lost control. Late on Sunday night, protests began in the western region of Libya.
In his direct report, the aforementioned journalist also stated that “the protestors in the country’s Al-Zawiya region strongly protested this meeting and insisted on the neutrality of the entire government.” Thousands of demonstrators had also assembled in Tajura and Souq Juma at the same time. There were also violent protests held elsewhere in the nation. Demonstrators burned spare tyres and obstructed roadways.
Malik Tarina claims that “we saw protestors expressing their anger on the said meeting in Misrata too.”
Al-Manqoosh, on the other hand, was temporarily suspended by Prime Minister Abdul Hameed Al-Dubai and replaced by Fathullah Abdul Latif as Foreign Minister as protests grew more violent and widespread across the nation. Al-Munkoosh, he claims, will be the subject of a thorough investigation. To look into this, the Ministry of Justice will.
The controversy continued even after his announcement as of the time of writing. Demonstrators frequently damage significant structures; they even target diplomatic mission buildings. They are adamant that the entire administration must be removed.
