Based on external evidence, the claim appears to be substantiated. Multiple news articles, both from within Libya and other international sources (all linked below), confirm that Libya has indeed ordered and issued threats to expel diplomats, citing their explicit support for Israel. However, precision in language is crucial, and it's important to note that, as of now, no physical actions beyond verbal statements and threats have transpired. The article mentioned above asserts that "Libya has kicked out ambassadors," and while the intent to do so has been expressed, the actual expulsion has not occurred at this point.

This is a thorough fact-check. My only comment is to add in sources explicitly. "Based on XXX news outlet, the claim is factually accurate because..."

From external sources, the provided article, and the website of Libya's parliament; it does appear to be accurate that the Libyan parliament has made the statements claimed in the article. However, it is inaccurate to say that the ambassadors have been forcefully removed, or "kicked out" yet. It would be more accurate to say that they have issued these demands under the threat of expulsion.
