It was with great regret and dismay that we received the news in Zionist media about a secretive meeting between the occupation state's Foreign Minister and his Libyan counterpart Najla al-Manqoush in Italy last week.  

This meeting and all similar gatherings that would confer legitimacy upon the Israeli occupation of Palestine and greenlight its fascist policies and brutal crimes against the Palestinian people are rejected and condemned.  

The meeting is paramountly alarming, as it is held amid escalating Israeli aggressive policies towards the Palestinian people adopted by the most extremist cabinet in the history of the occupation state.

These meetings do not reflect the convictions and the common sense of the Libyan people, who are praised for their absolute support for the Palestinian people and cause.
