The parliamentary statement issued on the nineteenth day of talks between Israel and Hamas stated: “We call on the ambassadors of the countries that support the Zionist entity (i.e. Israel) in its crimes to leave the (Libyan) territories immediately.” war .

This war was sparked by the unprecedented attack launched by the Palestinian Islamic movement on Israeli territory on October 7, which left more than 1,400 people dead, most of them civilians.

The Israeli army’s retaliatory attacks on the Gaza Strip, the Hamas-ruled enclave, have killed 6,500 people so far, most of them civilians as well.

“To suspend exports…”

The Parliament added: “If the massacres committed by the Zionist enemy do not stop, we call on the Libyan government to suspend oil and gas exports to the countries that support it.”

The Libyan Parliament denounced “in the strongest possible ways” the position of “the governments of the United States, Britain, France and Italy” which “support the Zionist entity and its crimes” while their leaders deliver “a lecture on human rights and the right of peoples to self-determination.”

Libya, which does not recognize Israel, has been witnessing violence and political conflict since the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime in a NATO-backed uprising in 2011.

After all, there are two opposing executive authorities in the country: the so-called National Unity Government, based in Tripoli (west) and recognized by the United Nations, and the so-called Libyan Government, which was named by Parliament and is close to the camp of Khalifa Haftar, the strongman of eastern Libya.

Demonstrations in support of the Palestinians were repeated in Libyan cities, especially after the bloody attack on a hospital in Gaza on October 17.
