Tripoli [Libya], August 28 (ANI): Libya's prime minister Sunday night suspended Foreign Minister Najla Mangoush from her role after her recent meeting with Israeli counterpart Eli Cohen sparked anger in the country, The Times of Israel reported. Shortly after Israel released a press release announcing and applauding the sit-down, the nation's Foreign Ministry also quickly released a statement denying any formal meeting had occurred. The latest developments were made public at midnight local time, but the Israeli Foreign Ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In its own communique, the Libyan Foreign Ministry said that “what happened in Rome was an unofficial and unprepared casual meeting, during a meeting with the Italian foreign minister, and it did not include any discussions, agreements or consultations.”“Rather, the minister affirmed Libya’s constants on the Palestinian issue in a clear and unambiguous manner,” it added. It's claimed that there are no Jews left in Libya now, The Times of Israel reported.
