Cohen boasted after the meeting about “the great potential” for Tel Aviv and Tripoli to cooperate in various fields. Long live Libya, long live Palestine, and long live the Palestinian cause in all of our hearts,” Dbeibah said during the televised meeting. Expressing his regret that Mangoush had acted "independently,” the Libyan prime minister warned of “harsh measures” after the two foreign ministers’ secret meeting, without providing further details. “Unfortunately, there was an individual in the government who acted independently,” Dbeibah said in reference to the top Libyan diplomat. Haniyeh said the Palestinian people are proud of the official and popular positions of Libya on the normalization of relations with the occupying regime.
