Nasser Shadid - Misurata
The Libyan parliament, held in the capital Tripoli, called on the legitimate Al-Wefaq government to prepare militarily and politically against any Egyptian threat to intervene militarily in the country, while Al-Wefaq forces continued to reinforce their crowds in the vicinity of Sirte.
The second deputy speaker of the parliament, Jalal Al-Shuwaidi, said that "what was issued by the Egyptian parliament is a direct threat to use force and the intention to harm Libya's sovereignty."
Al-Shuwaidi considered in a press conference after a parliamentary session that what happened by the Egyptian parliament constituted a violation of international law and a violation of international legitimacy and the charters of the United Nations and the League of Arab States.
He concluded by saying, "What was issued by the Egyptian parliament is not a defense of Egyptian national security. Libya does not pose any threat to Egypt's security."
The Libyan parliament session came in response to the Egyptian parliament's decision to authorize President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to send troops to Libyan territory, to protect the western front, according to the official statement of the Egyptian parliament.
In a tweet on Twitter, Libyan Interior Minister Fathi Pashaga said, "A declaration of war on Libya," and said that any foreign forces inside the Libyan borders are "hostile forces", and that his country: "will not hesitate to defend the sovereignty, security and freedom of our nation."
The Al-Wefaq forces have sent large military reinforcements to the areas of Abu Qurain and Al-Shoka, east of the city of Misrata at the beginning of this week, to reinforce the fighting axes with weapons, equipment and fighters.
In front of the media, I reviewed the size of the military vehicles that had gathered from all the western region towards the outskirts of the city of Sirte.
Waiting for the attack
, the spokesman for the Sirte-Jafra Operations Room, Brigadier General Abdul Hadi Draa, told Al Jazeera that Al-Wefaq forces are awaiting the decision of the Supreme Commander of the Libyan Army, Fayez al-Sarraj.
Derah believes that the Al-Wefaq government is making political contacts with several parties "without calling it," and added, "We will give politicians a room to negotiate in order to enter Sirte without bloodshed and not destroying the city. Otherwise, entering military is our decision."
And military sources in Al-Wefaq forces confirm that Haftar fighters planted mines in most of the entrances to the city of Sirte, and deployed mercenaries from both Syria and the Janjaweed in the Wadi Jarif axis in the south of the city of Sirte.
In the same context, military cargo planes belonging to the retired Major General Khalifa Hifter and the mercenaries of the Russian Wagner Company continued to land at the military bases of Al-Jufra in central Libya and the Qardabiya base south of Sirte.
Al-Wefaq forces believe that the planes coming from Hmeimim Airport near Latakia carry weapons and ammunition in addition to mercenaries from Russia and Syria.
Violent clashes took place near the oil port of Brega, which lasted for two days due to disputes over the powers between two armed groups belonging to Haftar forces, hours later issued leaks about an American desire that the Libyan oil fields be under international protection.
The National Oil Corporation demands Hifter to remove foreign forces and Wagner mercenaries from the Sharara field and Sidra port
Sources in the Al-Wefaq government confirm that the oil crescent has been converted into military launching bases, after several weapons and ammunition have been brought in.
Do not back down from the battle,
and political analysts say that the recent military buildup by al-Wefaq forces may be a message to the Egyptian leadership first, and after the American allusion second,
They believe that the two battles of Sirte Al-Jafra are inevitably coming, without any consideration for the red line that President Sisi spoke about,
Al-Sisi had said that I went a red line that would not allow Al-Wefaq forces to cross it towards the strongholds of retired Major Khalifa Khalifa
Al-Wefaq sees the recent meeting of Sisi with tribal leaders from eastern Libya in Cairo as an unacceptable incitement and not to be silent.
For his part, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that his country's support for the reconciliation government in Libya enabled it to "defeat the putschists who were threatening the capital, Tripoli."
He continued, "We are following developments (regarding Libya) during the recent period, so no one will be reckless, because we will not allow that."
The Turkish president's comments came after the Egyptian parliament announced on Monday its approval to send army forces on combat missions outside the borders in the "strategic western direction", in the context of a possible military intervention in Libya.
As for Turkish presidential spokesman Ibrahim Qalan, he stressed that his country categorically refuses to divide Libya, describing this as a catastrophic scenario.
"We categorically reject the division of Libya politically or geographically," he said. "This is a catastrophic scenario. We have seen examples of this in Iraq, Syria and elsewhere, and we have to draw lessons from it."
