Libyans will go to the polls in two months to elect a new president, after many years of internal strife. The renegade general, Khalifa Haftar, is up against Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the son of the former tyrant Muammar Gaddafi, who was deposed and killed in a violent uprising 10 years ago.

But regardless of who emerges victorious, there is one certain winner: an Israeli consulting firm advising both candidates.
Israel Hayom has learned that one of Haftar's sons has recently signed the contract with the firm, which successfully ran campaigns in Israel and around the world, including for prime minister and president. The firm later got a request from the other candidate, through a female model living in Dubai.
According to senior figures in the Gulf, the firm registered a new company in the United Arab Emirates so that it would have two separate entities run the campaigns. Both contracts are reportedly worth tens of millions of dollars in fees.
