Saddam Haftar, son of Haftar Forces commander General Khalifa Haftar, paid a short visit to occupied Palestine last Monday, during which he met a number of Israeli security officials, according to the Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, on Sunday.
The newspaper stated that "Saddam Haftar landed in “Israel” last Monday, carrying a message from his father requesting Israeli military and political assistance, and in return, he pledged to establish diplomatic relations in the future between Libya and “Israel”."
According to the newspaper, Haftar’s visit lasted for an hour and a half and included meetings with unspecified security agencies, which were held at Ben Gurion Airport, east of "Tel Aviv."
Last Monday, a private plane belonging to a person close to Khalifa Haftar, departed from Dubai Airport and landed in "Tel Aviv", according to Israeli journalist Itay Blumenthal.
The official Israeli radio, Kan, said that "a special plane (P4-RMA) used by the men of Libyan General Khalifa Haftar, who controls eastern Libya, will land at (Ben Gurion) airport.”
Kan added that Haftar has been repeatedly accused of receiving Israeli assistance.
Haaretz indicated that "there was no comment from Haftar or the Israeli side regarding the plane belonging to Haftar's men,” noting that “there are no diplomatic relations between “Israel” and Libya."
