On 26 March, a group of High State Council (HSC) members attended a fast-breaking event in Derna on the occasion of a street opening. They were received by House of Representatives (HoR) Speaker Aqeela Saleh, Government of National Stability (GNS) Prime Minister Osama Hammad, General Manager of the Development and Reconstruction Fund Belqasim Haftar, and Commander of the Libyan National Army (LNA) Ground Forces Saddam Haftar. Among the HSC members was Mansour al-Hassadi, who belongs to the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Justice & Construction Party. Several HoR members also took part in the breaking of the fast.
On 27 March, al-Hassadi was sharply criticized by Grand Mufti al-Sadiq al-Ghariyani for this trip and the meetings.
