Libya .. a European call for calm and a pro-Hafeer prisoner who admits that Egypt, the UAE and Russia were involved in the Tripoli attack

The European Union today called on all parties in Libya to show restraint, in light of the escalation of military tension, especially in the vicinity of the capital, Tripoli.

European Commission spokesman Peter Stano stressed in a statement that the Libyan conflict cannot be resolved militarily, stressing the need to focus on the political proposals submitted by the United Nations, which were negotiated.

He also stressed the need for all members of the international community to abide by the arms embargo imposed on Libya, reiterating the Union's support for the political negotiations led by the UN envoy to Ghassan Salama.

On the ground, the Al-Jazeera correspondent reported earlier that more than nine gunmen from Haftar's forces were killed in clashes with the forces of the National Accord Government in the Yarmouk axis south of Tripoli, while two of the reconciliation forces were killed.

The Al-Wefaq government forces confirmed that they are continuing to maintain their full positions, after repelling an attack by Haftar forces backed by mercenaries from the Russian Wagner Company.

On Sunday, it also rejected the deadline set by Haftar forces for the withdrawal of Misurata forces from the cities of Tripoli and Sirte, in the west of the country.

The spokesman for the Haftar forces, Ahmed Al-Mismari, had vowed last Friday to continue bombing the city of Misrata daily with air strikes in the event that the city forces did not withdraw from Tripoli and Sirte, within a period of three days that was supposed to end on Sunday evening, but Haftar's forces announced their extension for three additional days.
