Saddam Hafar, the son of the commander of the Libyan National Army (LNA) Marshal Khalifa Haftar, offered to Israeli high-ranking officials to establish diplomatic relations, transfers Interfax with reference to the online portal of the Israeli publication “Union Ahronot”.
It is reported that the meeting of the parties was held secretly, while who exactly from Israel’s representatives took part in the meeting, not specified.
It is assumed that the proposal from Tripoli to establish diplomatic relations entered into exchange for Israeli “military and diplomatic assistance”. According to Israeli media, Haftar conveyed a message from his father, in which he proposed to normalize relations in a way similar to the “Abraham Agreements”. With the help of these agreements in 2020, the UAE, Bahrain, and then Morocco, with the mediation of the United States, normalized relations with Israel. In early January 2021, Sudan officially joined them.
