Palestinian diplomatic engagement in Libya

Overview

Palestinian officials have engaged in diplomatic meetings in Tripoli to discuss refugee rights and bilateral cooperation.

In September 2026, the Palestinian Ambassador to Lebanon, Dr. Mohammad al-Asaad, met with Tripoli officials to address the socio-economic challenges of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the West Bank. During these discussions, the Ambassador emphasized the “right of return,” rejected permanent settlement, and called for international funding for UNRWA.

In October 2026, Palestinian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants, Varsen Aghabekyan Shahin, met with the Chairman of the Libyan Presidential Council, Mohamed al-Menfi. The meeting focused on strengthening bilateral solidarity and reviewing Middle East political developments. Both parties agreed to coordinate positions within regional and international forums to support the Palestinian right to self-determination.
