The Libyan parliament on Wednesday, 25 October, requested that ambassadors from countries that “support” Israel in its conflict with Hamas in Gaza leave the country, AFP reports. Since 7 October 2023 when Hamas militants began an onslaught that Israeli sources said killed 1,400 civilians, Israel has been bombing the Gaza Strip. The Health Ministry in Gaza said that over 6,500 Palestinians were killed as a result of Israeli strikes. “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 read. Earlier, Moussa Mahamat, the chairperson of the African Union Commission, said that Israel committed a “war crime” after the fatal attack on the Gaza Strip hospital.
