The U.S. is said to be “furious” at Israel after mobs in Libya flew into a frenzy over a two-hour meeting a few days ago, at a summit in Rome, between Libyan Foreign Minister Najia Mangoush and her Israeli counterpart, Foreign Minister Eli Cohen. The short meeting was intended to discuss improving ties between the two countries, with hopes of normalization.
This is what the scene looked like in Libya:
On the streets of Tripoli and its suburbs, protests erupted on Sunday evening in a sign of refusal of normalisation with Israel. The protests spread to other cities where young people blocked roads, burned tyres and waved the Palestinian flag.
But Israel gets publicly rebuked by the most incompetent administration that America ever saw. It is habitual for Western leftists to dismiss the barbarism seen across the Muslim world in response to any so-called offense. Given Libya’s reaction, the country is far removed from friendship with Israel.
Joe Biden has been such a spectacular failure in office — both domestically and abroad — that he is eager to be put on the map for negotiating a two-state solution (which is a delusion) and normalization deals between Islamic countries and Israel (even in Israel’s absence), thereby diverting attention away from himself amid the ongoing corruption investigations haunting the Biden crime family, while blatantly trying to use Israel as his personal scapegoat.
The Biden administration has made no secret about being pro-Palestinian. Not only did the State Department actually fund a Leftist group behind the chaotic protests in Israel against Netanyahu over judicial reform, but its persistent meddling in the affairs of Israel is jarring. The Biden administration recently supported Saudi Arabia’s appointment of an envoy to Palestinians in Jerusalem, after Israel rejected it, and the U.S. was busy working with the Saudis on a normalization deal with Israel without Israel’s presence. The Saudis demanded that certain unreasonable concessions to Palestinians be made first, which was previously ruled out by Israel. Now the Biden administration, which is desperate to see normalization agreements (that Trump started) move full speed ahead at the expense of Israel, no matter the cost, is again meddling in Israeli affairs.
“US said furious with Israel for revealing meeting with Libyan foreign minister,” by Lazar Berman, Times of Israel, August 29, 2023:
US President Joe Biden’s administration is reportedly furious with Jerusalem for revealing last week’s meeting between the foreign ministers of Israel and Libya.
Foreign Minister Eli Cohen on Sunday announced the meeting with his Libyan counterpart Najla Mangoush, sparking outrage in Libya over the unprecedented sit-down and a storm of criticism at home over his revelation.
Mangoush on Monday was fired for meeting with Cohen, amid ballooning political fallout in both Jerusalem and Tripoli over the decision by Israel’s top diplomat to reveal that the two ministers held a “historic” sit-down in Rome.
US officials told Israel that the episode will deter other countries from embarking on a normalization process with Israel, multiple Hebrew media outlets reported Monday.
A US official also said it “killed” the conversation channel with Libya about recognizing Israel……

On this occasion, like a broken clock, the Biden administration happens to be right. What Israel did was pretty stupid – trumpeting their agreement w/ Libya, instead of allowing Libya to decide when & how to go about it. Now chances of Libya following the footsteps of Sudan, Morocco or Bahrein on this issue is next to nil
Walter Sieruk says
If is really Joe Biden is the one who is “furious” then it’s “So what who cares if that old goat is angry or not”
Furthermore, Joe Biden is so very ignorant that t he denies that Jews prayers at Judaism’s holiest site is appropriate, Biden said that he’s “Christian” yet a doesn’t’ care. that Jesus taught that “If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.” Mark 3:24. [N.E.B.]
Therefore Biden keeps on pushing for a for a division of the land State of Israel , which is so false called “the two state” solution.
No genuine Christian would disregard the Wisdom of the teaching of Jesus as that godless and wicked man Joe Biden does.

Biden’s Terror Funding Just Killed an Israeli Preschool Teacher, and will kill more the coming months. Biden also invited Lapid to come to Washington to discuss issues without inviting Netanyahu first. I imagine the idea of Libya doing anything with Israel, after Obama, biden and Clinton got rid of Kadaffi
and opened the door for unrestrained illegal immigration of muslims to Europe also is way way unrealistic, except in Biden and the libs minds.

Now other countries run by rabid, Jew-hating mozlums, will be less likely to lie about wanting to “normalize relations” with Israel.
Back in ancient Israel, there was a king, Hezikiah by name, who invited some enemies of the nation of Israel in to see ‘all of the treasures’ of his kingdom; and after Hezikiah’s death, armies from that enemy nation stormed in and stole all of those valuable treasures.
2 Kings 20
True enemies will never be honest friends. mozlums can’t be trusted any more than the Babylonians could be.
And biden is no friend…and can’t be trusted. So who shoucl listen to him?
FYI says
Billions of dollars wasted on an engineered war with Ukraine.
And the people of Maui struggling for survival.
The criminality of it.
Wellington says
Yes, FYI, the criminality of it to be sure, but also the stupidity of it.
Ido Gold says
if that was their response, logically, what kind of option was there in the first place? (for normalisation?)
