AdvertisementThe airstrikes Thursday follow a warning by President Biden — who has faced increasing pressure to retaliate for the attacks on American personnel — to Iran’s supreme leader that the United States would act if further provoked. The United States has for many years faced assaults from Iranian-linked militants in Iraq, where the Pentagon maintains a force of some 2,500 troops, and in Syria, where U.S. personnel number around 900. The Biden administration has authorized previous strikes against Iranian-linked targets in Syria, including in March. Most worrying for Israel and the United States is the armed Lebanese group Hezbollah, which is also supported by Iran. “Iran is trying to hide its hand and maintain some level of deniability, and we are not allowing that to happen,” a senior defense official said.
Libya: Vote on a Draft Resolution Renewing UNSMIL’s MandateOn Monday morning (30 October), the Security Council is expected to vote on a draft resolution renewing the mandate of the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) for one year, until 31 October 2024.

Libya's eastern-based parliament has ordered departure of the ambassadors of the countries that support the Israeli regime, which has brought the Palestinian territory of the Gaza Strip under a hugely-deadly war. "We demand that the ambassadors of the states which support the Zionist entity in its crimes leave the territory [of Libya] immediately," the parliament said in a statement on Wednesday. The legislature also threatened to cut energy supplies to the countries in question. The Libyan parliament also singled out the United States, the UK, France, and Italy for criticism over their support for the Israeli regime amid the war. It said those states "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."
The Libyan parliament on Wednesday, 25 October, requested that ambassadors from countries that “support” Israel in its conflict with Hamas in Gaza leave the country, AFP reports. Since 7 October 2023 when Hamas militants began an onslaught that Israeli sources said killed 1,400 civilians, Israel has been bombing the Gaza Strip. The Health Ministry in Gaza said that over 6,500 Palestinians were killed as a result of Israeli strikes. “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 read. Earlier, Moussa Mahamat, the chairperson of the African Union Commission, said that Israel committed a “war crime” after the fatal attack on the Gaza Strip hospital.
