The Libyan parliament of the eastern government has issued a stern warning demanding that the ambassadors of countries supporting the Israeli occupation's genocidal war in Gaza leave the country at once: namely the United States, Britain, France, and Italy. 

The eastern-based Libyan parliament, which is supported by military leader Khalifa Haftar a veteran of the dissolved Gaddafi army, represents one of the rival administrations that have divided Libya since NATO overthrew the Libyan government back in 2011. 

In a strongly-worded statement published on its official website, the eastern-based parliament threatened to cut energy supplies if the massacres against Palestinians in Gaza did not cease.

"We demand that the ambassadors of the states which support the Zionist entity in its crimes leave the territory [of Libya] immediately. If the massacres committed by the Zionist enemy do not stop, we demand that the Libyan government suspend the export of oil and gas to the states that support it"

Furthermore, the parliament denounced the hypocrisy of the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Italy, by supporting Israeli crimes in Gaza while pretending to advocate for human rights and the right to self-determination.

Earlier today,  Turkey announced it is temporarily halting plans on joint energy explorations with the Israeli entity in the Mediterranean Sea and gas exports to Europe via the country, Bloomberg said on Wednesday citing sources informed on the matter.

This comes as ties between the two parties are witnessing a period of tensions over the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza that has entered its 19th day.

Earlier today, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that Ankara does not see Hamas as a terrorist organization, rather it considers it a "Liberation group defending its country and people."

He also expressed strong criticism of Western powers for their endorsement of the Israeli massacres in Gaza, labeling their sympathies as "Western tears shed for Israel are a manifestation of fraud."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that "Israel" is preparing for a ground invasion of Gaza but declined to provide any details on the timing or other information about the operation.

Erdogan further revealed Ankara's feelings of betrayal by "Israel," accusing it of exploiting Turkey’s positive intentions. He also announced the cancellation of his scheduled trip to "Tel Aviv" due to the ongoing aggression on Gaza.

The Israeli foreign ministry slammed Erdogan's statement and said that his words would not change "the horrors that the world has seen," despite the fact that the Israeli entity has not yet provided any proof to confirm its previous claims on the Resistance's actions when first entering the settlements.
