Libya’s Attorney-General said on Saturday he would establish a fact-finding mission to investigate a meeting last month between the country’s foreign minister Najla Mangoush and her Israeli counterpart.
In a brief statement, Attorney-General Al-Siddiq al-Sour said the fact-finding mission would probe violations of Libya’s rules of boycotting Israel and “investigate the extent of damage to Libya’s interests” because of the meeting.
Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen revealed last week that he met with Mangoush in Rome a week earlier.
Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh later suspended Mangoush and referred her to investigation following her meeting with Minister Cohen.
The meeting caused an uproar in Libya, with protests erupting against the meeting.
