Egypt has called for an emergency meeting of the Arab League to discuss the situation in Libya in conjunction with the request of the Turkish government for a parliamentary mandate to deploy its forces in Libya at the request of the internationally recognized reconciliation government.
And based on the Egyptian invitation, the Arab League Council will hold an emergency meeting at the delegate level tomorrow, Tuesday, headed by Iraq, to discuss developments in the situation in Libya.
The meeting comes after the Libyan-based Accord government, which is based in Tripoli and recognized by the United Nations, signed two agreements with Ankara, the first dealing with military cooperation, and the second centered on the maritime demarcation between Turkey and Libya.
"We will not allow anyone to believe that they can control Libya and Sudan, and we will not allow anyone to control them," Sisi said in comments to Egyptian government and private newspapers published last week. "We will not abandon the Libyan National Army" led by Haftar.

Fourth visit
On the other hand, retired Major General Khalifa Hifter arrived in Cairo on Monday on an unannounced visit during which he will meet Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to discuss developments and developments in the Libyan situation.
Egyptian media reported that Hifter arrived in Cairo with the President of the Tobruk Parliament, Aqila Saleh, on a visit whose duration was not announced.
She explained that the visit comes with the aim of discussing developments and developments in the Libyan situation.
Haftar's visit to Egypt is the fourth since he started his military campaign against the capital, Tripoli, last April. Sisi met in the months of April, May and August, but the latter was not officially announced, unlike its predecessors.
After a period dominated by an attempt to maintain relations with the national reconciliation government and the parliament in Tobruk, Cairo recently issued stances expressly supportive of Haftar's forces and the parliament of Tobruk, and attacking the reconciliation government, which is internationally and internationally recognized as the legitimate government of Libya.
Since last April 4, Tripoli - the headquarters of the Al-Wefaq government - and its environs have witnessed armed battles after Haftar's forces launched an attack to control it amid a mobilization of the Al-Wefaq forces, amid widespread international condemnation, the repeated failure of Haftar, and fears that the hopes for any political solution to the crisis have been dashed.
