Libyan foreign minister Najla al-Mangoush has been suspended, following the announcement of a meeting last week with his Israeli counterpart which provoked demonstrations in Tripoli and other Libyan cities. ADVERTISEMENTAn "administrative investigation" by a commission chaired by the Minister of Justice has been launched, according to Libyan Prime Minister Abdelhamid Dbeibah's government. On Sunday, Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen revealed he had held "unprecedented" talks with his Libyan counterpart in Rome last week. "I spoke with the foreign minister about the great potential of relations between the two countries," Cohen was quoted as saying in a statement from his office. The meeting took place under the auspices of Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, according to the Israeli press release.
