🇱🇾🇺🇸 Libya’s eastern-based, Haftar-aligned government, led by Osama Hammad, condemned Trump’s comments about the country, calling him “a visitor to Epstein’s filthy island” in an official statement. It demanded a retraction and a formal apology to Libya and its people, insisting that the nation’s sovereignty and dignity were nonnegotiable.

Who’s next to send troops to KSA?
Turkey and Egypt 🇹🇷🇪🇬 look set to join the list helping defend the kingdom, alongside Pakistan, the US, Greece, Italy, the UK, France and Ukraine.
What exactly is the Saudi military doing if Riyadh keeps calling in everyone else to defend its skies?
🇵🇰🇸🇦 A Pakistan Air Force C-130 Hercules military transport flew from Karachi to the Royal Saudi Air Force’s King Abdulaziz Air Base in Dhahran, where a Pakistani detachment of JF-17 fighters and SAMs are deployed.
🇱🇾🇪🇬 Libya’s GNU PM Abdulhamid Dbeibah pledged to address Egypt’s concerns over the maritime deal with Turkey, including Mediterranean boundaries and EEZs, through talks and coordination to safeguard both countries maritime rights and interests.
🇪🇬🇬🇷🇱🇾🇹🇷 Libya’s House of Representatives voted unanimously Tuesday to approve the 2019 maritime boundary agreement with Turkey, reversing its longstanding opposition to the deal.
Lawmakers also repealed two resolutions adopted in 2020: one rejecting the maritime and security agreements with Ankara, and another severing political ties with Turkey.
The vote came exactly two weeks after lawmakers replaced longtime Speaker Aguila Saleh with Al-Salhin Abdulnabi al-Obeidi on October 6. The agreement had remained unratified throughout Saleh’s tenure. A longtime opponent of the deal, Saleh maintained close ties with Egypt and Greece, both of which reject the agreement over its implications for maritime rights in the eastern Mediterranean.
🇪🇬🇬🇷🇹🇷🇱🇾 Egypt and Greece have agreed to negotiate an expansion of their 2020 maritime boundary agreement in full accordance with international law and the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, in response to the Libyan HoR’s ratification of its maritime agreement with Turkey.

🇪🇬🇸🇦🇾🇪 Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi said any Egyptian military support for Saudi Arabia would be limited to defending the kingdom's territory and borders and would not include an attack on Yemen.
“I’ve heard a lot of talk lately about us going to attack Yemen. We’re only talking about defending Saudi Arabia’s territory and borders,” Sisi said, describing Egypt’s support for Gulf states as part of a shared commitment to Arab national security.
