Saudi channel Al-Hadath reports from its sources that the Libyan prime minister (who heads the Libyan presidential council in Tripoli), Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh, met with senior Israeli officials in Amman, Jordan, including the head of the Mossad and talked to them about normalizing Israeli-Libyan relations.

According to the publication, Dbeibeh asked Israel to support him in order for him to remain in office during the transition period before the Libyan presidential election. He was also quoted as saying that the time was not right to hold elections in Libya. The report from the Saudi channel has no confirmation from any other source.

Last December, elections for the Libyan presidency were scheduled to take place for the first time in many years, and were postponed due to the country's split into several centers of power, including the capital Tripoli in the west and the city of Tobruk in the east. In the midst of November, it was reported that the son of one of the leading candidates in the Libyan elections, General Khalifa Haftar, whose forces control the east of the country, secretly visited Israel.
