Protests in Libya after foreign minister's Israel meeting

Libya's Prime Minister has suspended his foreign minister after she informally met with her Israeli counterpart, sparking protests. Libya does not recognize Israel and is a supporter of the Palestinian cause.
Israel's Eli Cohen described the meeting as a historic first step in establishing relations and discussed potential areas of cooperation with Libya, such as humanitarian aid and preservation of Jewish heritage.
The meeting prompted demonstrations in Tripoli and other cities, with protesters expressing opposition to the normalization of relations with Israel. Libya has been politically divided since the overthrow of Gaddafi, making any potential deal with Israel complex.
