Gadhafi's son: Libya has 'no problem' with Israel
Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's son said Friday his country has no qualms about dealing with Israel because Libya considers itself more African than Arab.
Seif al-Islam Gadhafi said Friday, "Our position on Israel is clear. When Libya joined with the African nations, we left the Arab-Israeli conflict. When the Palestinians decided to negotiate, we can't be more Palestinian than the Palestinians," he said, implicitly hinting that Libya can deal with the Israelis if Palestinians do.
"I have no problem dealing and speaking with Israelis. Darfur (in Sudan) is more important for me now than Palestine," he said...
For decades, Libya helped fund and train radical Palestinian groups to fight Israel. But in the late 1990s, Libya's quixotic leader declared that the country was changing its allegiance from Arab causes and turning instead to Africa to develop its political and financial aspirations.
The following question arises: If things are the way Seif al-Islam says they are, why do we not see a Libyan embassy in Tel Aviv?
