He resigned on 15 February 2011 after seeing the violence used against protestors in Benghazi, being the first senior official to do so. On 24 February 2011 opposition politicians, former military officers, tribal leaders, academics and businessmen held a meeting in the eastern city of Al Bayda. The meeting was chaired by Abdul Jalil, who quit the government a few days before. The delegates stressed the importance of the national unity of Libya and stated that Tripoli is the capital city. They discussed proposals for interim administration with many delegates asking for UN intervention in Libya. Jalil was stated to be the head of the National Transitional Council in the Council's founding statement of 5 March 2011. He is considered a conservative and devout Muslim, not a radical Islamist. He can often be seen wearing a 'shanna,' the traditional burgundy coloured wool cap used by Libyan men. In classified US diplomatic cables leaked recently by the website Wikileaks, he is described as open and cooperative.

Zeidan said air strikes, led by France, Britain and the United States, have helped, but the council do not want international forces to invade the country. "Gaddafi must disappear. He should leave as soon as possible," Zeidan said. "We would like to establish a new state on the basis of democracy ... we do not want an Islamist government."
