Libyan Parliament Accuses Dbeibeh of Obstructing Its Sessions

Tensions escalated on Saturday, November 14, 2026, between the Libyan House of Representatives and the Government of National Unity after the parliament accused Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh of issuing instructions that prevented the granting of flight permits necessary to transport a number of MPs to the cities of Zintan and Zuwarah, in preparation for a parliamentary session scheduled for next Monday.

In a statement reported by the Libyan News Agency, the House of Representatives considered these measures to be an interference in the work of the legislative authority and an obstruction of its members in the performance of their duties, demanding that these actions be reversed and the necessary arrangements be made to hold the session.

This crisis comes in the context of ongoing political and institutional division in the country, where disputes over governmental powers intertwine with competition regarding the legitimacy of institutions and the mechanisms for managing the transitional phase.

Available data indicates no official response has yet been issued by Dbeibeh's government regarding these accusations. Consequently, the account of the flight permit obstruction remains attributed to the House of Representatives, pending clarifications from the concerned parties or developments regarding the execution of the flights and the scheduled session.
