Taking into account, of course, that things have yet to be finalized without subsequent elections for a new legislative body, some things I'm confused about as it relates to the structure of the GNA and the executive offices of the new government, in general. It is said that the Presidency Council selectes members of the GNA, and also that the legislature (will eventually) approve the selections of the GNA by the Presidency Council. But who is planned eventually to select and approve the members of the Presidency Council? Honestly, it seems like the GNA existed before the Presidency Council, and that for all intents and purposes, the GNA largely lends its members to the Presidency Council and not the other way around.

Is the plan that the legislature will eventually select and approve the members of the Presidency Council, which will then select the members of the government which the legislature will then approve? --Criticalthinker (talk) 07:38, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Current government of the GNA ( government of national accord ) is a post transitional quasi-legal government. Its structure is more of a Militia junta coalition, with alliances and agreements between militias from different cities. The GNA has yet to become fully legitimate under legal process. There is no current consensus in Libya to give this organization any legitimacy. Nor is there a constitution. At the current time, it is as legal, as is the House of Representatives of Tobruk. The "Libya's Internationally recognized government" is rhetoric stemming from supporters of this government, ie, Qatar, Turkey, and whom have interests to empower it. This statement is being repeated by the Aljazeera Network, and Turkish media outlets.

While the government of national accord may have international recognition within the UN, so does the House of representatives, as actual political bodies, but not as the "Sole governing body" within Libya and certainly not as "The government" or "The sole government" of Libya.

AlJazeera has continuously referred to the GNA as "The government of Libya", and as "The internationally recognized government", and as "The state of Libya", sowing confusion among its viewers, despite Libya being politically fractured between three governments, and having two central banks, and no legal consensus to whom IS the legitimate government. I would recommend viewers, editors, and readers to be vigilant, as there is a very active media war campaign underway with plenty of disinformation to "mould" the Libyan identity; most of it being foreign and most of it being magnified to vilify the LNA / House of representatives and legitimize the government of national accord.
