(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The National Transitional Council, the political body leading the Libyan revolution, denied Saturday claims that it sent French writer Bernard-Henri Levy to tell Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu that, if in power, the body would seek diplomatic ties with Israel.
”We welcomed Levy as a special envoy from the French president, and we never talked about our intention to establish ties with Israel,” said NTC head Mustafa Abdul-Jalil in a statement to the press.
”We are members of the Arab League and we support efforts the Palestinians have exerted to establish their independent state,” Abdul-Jalil added.
Levy had told the AFP that the ”future Libyan regime will be moderate and anti-terrorist and will be concerned with justice for the Palestinians and security for Israel.”
He also said that the ”future regime will maintain relations with other democratic countries, including Israel”.
