French Writer Passes Libya Rebels Message to Israel
[An Nahar] French writer Bernard Henri Levy said he delivered a message on Thursday from Libyan rebel leaders to Israel's premier saying they would seek diplomatic ties with Israel if they came to power.Levy told Agence La Belle France Presse he passed on the verbal message from Libya's National Transitional Council during a 90-minute meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem. "The main point was that the future Libyan regime would be moderate and anti-terrorist and will be concerned with justice for the Paleostinians and security for Israel," Levy said. "The future regime will maintain normal relations with other democratic countries, including Israel," he added. Levy, who helped engineer La Belle France's recognition of Libya's decampedgling rebel authority, visited the rebel-held Libyan city of Misrata last weekend. He said on Thursday that Netanyahu "did not appear surprised" at the content of the Libyan message. Posted by: Fred 2011-06-03 |
