Spokesman Moussa Ibrahim said Gadhafi's government is ready for immediate negotiations with rebels, and has asked NATO to convince the rebel forces to halt the attack on Tripoli.
Speaking on state television, Ibrahim said Gadhafi was prepared to negotiate directly with the head of the NTC.
The head of the NTC said on Al Arabiya television that the rebel fighters will halt their offensive if Gadhafi announces his departure.
Mustapha Abd El Jalil added that the rebel forces would give Gadhafi and his sons a safe passage out of the country.
