Libya's eastern-based parliament has ordered departure of the ambassadors of the countries that support the Israeli regime, which has brought the Palestinian territory of the Gaza Strip under a hugely-deadly war. "We demand that the ambassadors of the states which support the Zionist entity in its crimes leave the territory [of Libya] immediately," the parliament said in a statement on Wednesday. The legislature also threatened to cut energy supplies to the countries in question. The Libyan parliament also singled out the United States, the UK, France, and Italy for criticism over their support for the Israeli regime amid the war. It said those states "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."
