The foreign minister of Libya was suspended from her position after attending a meeting with Israel’s foreign minister in Rome recently.
Israel said that the meeting was an important first move in building relations.
However, Najla al-Mangoush explained that it was an unplanned and informal meeting while talking with the Italian foreign minister.
Ms Mangoush is currently being investigated.
It will give information to the prime minister in three days.
The presidential council, which speaks for Libya’s three provinces, has said that making relations with Israel normal is against the law.
The speaker’s office in parliament has accused Ms. Mangoush of a serious crime called grand treason and asked for an urgent meeting on Monday.
Even though Israel’s relations with certain Arab and Muslim countries are getting better, it still doesn’t have official diplomatic connections with Libya.
