Libya's interim government declares its readiness to hold presidential election as planned on December 24 despite uncertainties that the key vote will go ahead on time.

A report says Israel expects that the upcoming presidential elections in Libya would pave the way for a normalization agreement with another Arab country.

The commander of Libyan rebels, Khalifa Haftar, registers to run in Libya's presidential election due next month.

The son of Libya’s rebel commander Khalifa Haftar reportedly traveled to Tel Aviv last week for a secret meeting with Israeli officials to seek support as the North African country prepares to hold elections next month.

Media outlets cited an Israeli journalist as saying that a P4-RMA jet, which is used by the inner circle of Haftar, had taken off from Dubai and headed to Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv.

The Government of National Unity (GNU) will run the country until presidential and parliamentary elections are held on December 24.

The self-styled commander of Libya's rebel forces, Khalifa Haftar, says his armed militia will not be subordinate to the current Libyan government.
