The Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth said, on Tuesday, that the repercussions of the crisis of revealing the secret meeting between Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen and his Libyan counterpart Naglaa al-Mangoush in Italy will make it difficult for Israel to talk with Islamic and Arab countries due to the lack of trust following the strong blow that took place during the past two days.

According to the newspaper, what happened will force officials in the Arab countries to think twice before going to any secret meeting with any Israeli official, because they may find themselves the next day in the headlines of news bulletins through statements officially published by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and they face violent protests in their countries as it was in Liya.

The newspaper believes that the biggest beneficiary of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs' involvement in the Libyan issue is the "Mossad", which is considered more successful in maintaining secrecy in similar cases, and competes with the ministry in diplomatic contacts to expand the circle of relations and normalization with Arab countries.

The newspaper indicated that the Italian wisdom close to the Libyans put great pressure on Tripoli to open a rapprochement in relations with Israel, but the Libyan government is also thirsty for international legitimacy and wanted to achieve it through rapprochement with Israel, which was admitted by a senior official in an interview with Reuters that the meeting between Al-Manqoush and Cohen were the result of the desire of the government of Abdul Hamid al-Dabaiba to mobilize American and international support in its favour.
