The interim government based in the eastern city of Bayda has deplored the 28th Arab League Summit in Jordan, accusing the Arab League of imposing a trusteeship government in Libya. “The Arab League insists that this unconstitutional body represents Libyans,” the statement remarked, adding that the interim government should have been invited instead of the Presidency Council. The final communique of the Arab Summit has called for providing political support to the Presidency Council and stop dealing with parallel institutions. “We are very sorry that Libya has been represented by this illegitimate body; it is a violation of the constitutional legitimacy in Libya,” the statement said. Meanwhile, so-called the National Sovereignty Bloc of the House of Representatives has called for suspension of Libya’s membership in the Arab League after the latter had invited the Presidency Council to represent Libya in Amman Arab Summit.
