TRIPOLI, Libya — The Libyan parliament demands the departure of ambassadors from countries that “support” Israel as it fights Hamas in Gaza, taking specific aim at the United States, Britain, France and Italy. In a statement published on its official website, the eastern-based parliament — backed by military strongman Khalifa Haftar in Libya split between two rival administration — threatens to cut energy supplies if “massacres” against Palestinians did not stop. “We demand that the ambassadors of the states which support the Zionist entity (Israel) in its crimes leave the territory (of Libya) immediately,” the statement says. “If the massacres committed by the Zionist enemy do not stop, we demand that the Libyan government suspend the export of oil and gas to the states that support it,” it continues. The parliament denounced “in the strongest terms” the actions of “the governments of the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Italy.”It said these nations “support the Zionist entity in its crimes” in the Gaza Strip, while their leaders “lecture on human rights and the right of peoples to self-determination.”

A Dutch shipping company is reportedly facing a criminal investigation over possible violations of the arms embargo against Libya. The Dutch news outlet RTL Nieuws reports today that the Public Prosecution Service (OM) in the Netherlands has commenced a criminal investigation into the Shipping Company Groningen (SCG) after an incident in October 2022. RTL reports that the shipping company did not respond to the UN’s requests for information or the newspaper’s reporter. The shipping company previously issued a statement saying it was in compliance and had the appropriate paperwork. Operation IRINI reported last October that it was the second seizure it had made in three months of banned material being sent to Libya.

“We demand the government halt oil and gas exports to countries supporting Israel in case the Israeli massacres are not stopped,” parliamentary spokesman Abdullah Belihaq said in a statement on Wednesday. There are no indications that the Tripoli GNA government has supported the eastern HoR’s statements on Gaza. It is not possible for the eastern government to unilaterally halt oil exports without launching Libya into another civil war. While the east has the capability to physically intervene in oil production and export terminals, Libya’s oil revenues are more nominally controlled by the western government. Libyan and Turkish estimates are that some 8,000 people have been killed so far in the conflict, over 6,500 of them Palestinians.

Ruins from the Garamantian kingdom in what is now the southwestern region of Libya. A unique method of obtaining underground water enabled the Garamantes to thrive in the Sahara more than 2,000 years ago, long after the region became a desert. "They were lucky to have this world-class aquifer," Frank Schwartz , a hydrogeologist at The Ohio State University, told Live Science. But the climate changed and the Sahara became"hyper-arid" by the time the Garamantian kingdom arose in about 400 B.C., he said. Instead, the Garamantian foggaras tapped an ancient subterranean aquifer that had formed in the nearby sandstone highlands tens of millions of years earlier and had been "topped up" during the Green Sahara phases.
