op-ed: About Cohen and Manqoush meeting

In Israel, there is almost unanimity and outrage over the Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen's haste to meet the foreign minister at night, accusing him of betraying the Libyan minister, by quickly announcing the meeting because of a photo.

There is no Libyan denial and Israeli confirmation, and that the meeting between Cohen and Manqoush took place in a coordinated manner and in an arrangement between senior officials from both sides. Cohen specially traveled to Rome to meet with her in an official Italian hospitality, and the meeting was announced in a coordinated manner with Libyan officials, and the meeting or its announcement was not random. .

Eli Cohen's display cost Israel the loss of a new normalization victory, and he believed that he had attained an achievement for his leader, Netanyahu, that might help him in the acute political crisis in Israel. A number of analysts considered that this stupidity harmed Israel's interests and priorities and its secret work in weaving Arab normalization relations, which it has been working for years, especially the Mossad, which works to develop Israel's relations with Libya through Saif al-Islam Gaddafi and Haftar.

And from imaginary achievements of normalization with Libya to Israeli political controversy and disagreement, and criticism from Lapid and Gantz, who attacked Eli Cohen against the backdrop of leaking his meeting with the Libyan Foreign Minister, and considered that this harms secret relations with Libya and other countries.

Despite all this, criticism and controversy, there is a state of Zionist consensus to condemn Cohen, as well as continuing to seek and work to persuade Arab countries for normalization and the need to work secretly, and despite the opportunism of Israeli politicians, they work in the interest of Israel.

And that all the vehicles of the occupying state are working diligently on several fronts and have not stopped developing their relations with the Arab and non-Arab regimes and concluding political, security and economic agreements in various places and fronts and the United States is assisting them in that. Especially in their relentless pursuit to conclude a normalization agreement with them, even if the talk is about interests America, and it is at the heart of common Israeli interests.

What is disgusting is the situation of us Palestinians, and the leadership is still betting on Israeli society, as well as the Arabs, and the competition by the Arab regimes to win the favor of the American administration through the gateway to Israel, which is mired in its crises. Despotic, rickety, corrupt regimes are looking for their interests, staying in power, and controlling the resources of the Arab peoples.

The Libyan foreign minister, who met the Israeli foreign minister in Rome and fled to Turkey after the Libyans protested, did not take that step in isolation from the Libyan government as she raced with other groups to win America's favor through Israel.

Monday morning, the headline in the Israeli newspapers was about Cohen's scandal and his stupid behavior, as described by many in Israel, and the Libyan Foreign Minister whose departure from Libya was headlined by Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper and the Israeli media, as "escape."
