This decision comes after a request from the Libyan Presidential Council for clarification regarding a meeting between al-Mingoush and the Israeli Foreign Minister in Rome.

In a letter addressed to the Prime Minister, spokesperson for the Presidential Council Najwa Heba demanded a detailed explanation of the meeting. Following this request al-Mingoush was immediately suspended from her duties and referred for investigation.

In the meantime the Prime Minister has designated the Minister of Youth and Sports, Fathi Al-Zayni, as the interim head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
