As Libya’s U.N.-backed government in Tripoli prepares to reconstruct the civil war-torn country, many projects lie ahead, including accelerating the already initiated ones like those carried out by Turkish contractors.

The agreement reached Thursday between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israel to normalize diplomatic relations is a form of betrayal, a top Libyan official said Friday.

Turkey and its Libyan ally UN-backed Government of National Accord (GNA) Thursday inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in the area of trade and a new plan meant to solve pending issue, Libyan Observer reports citing Turkish Trade Minister Ruhsar Pekcan.

The success of the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord (GNA) in forcing the withdrawal of the eastern-based Libyan National Army (LNA) from northwestern Libya has led to a temporary détente in the conflict. As GNA officials contemplate an assault on the strategic city of Sirte, divisions have resurfaced between Tripoli’s numerous militias. These divisions indicate the significant internal difficulties the GNA will likely face, regardless of further military success.

The Cairo Declaration that called for ceasefire in Libya and removing militias from the war-torn country is an important framework to resolve the Libyan crisis, Libya’s Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Minister Abdul-Hadi al-Hawaij said, adding that maritime border demarcation agreements are on the agenda.

Israel is taking an increasingly balanced approach towards Libya’s internationally recognized government of Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported.

Nevertheless, some countries, companies, and individuals have continued to openly intervene in the Libyan Civil War.

Turkish-Maltese relations have developed over the issue of Libya recently.
