Libya’s chief prosecutor has set up a fact-finding mission to probe a recent secret meeting between the country’s foreign minister and her Israeli counterpart that was publicized last week. General Prosecutor Al-Siddiq Al-Sour said in a statement on Saturday a fact-finding committee was set up to probe the meeting after receiving complaints that the minister violated Libya’s rules of boycotting Israel. Following news of the controversial meeting that triggered protests in the North African country, Mangoush was suspended by Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh. On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed the publication of the secret meeting as “not helpful” and “an exception to the rule” of secret contacts. Long live Libya, long live Palestine, and long live the Palestinian cause in all of our hearts,” Dbeibah said during the televised meeting.
