The UN says the political talks it arranged between Libya's warring sides have makes progress toward agreeing a new transitional government to oversee the run-up to elections in December.

Libya’s strongman Khalifa Haftar has threatened to target Turkish forces on the North African country’s soil.

A political commentator says the United States exerts heavy influence during the Libya talks.

Libyan Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj will announce his resignation soon, a report says, amid ongoing negotiations with a rival power camp about the political future of the country.

The UAE and Israel, having had clandestine dealings with one another for many years, have decided to make their relationship public under the guise of “normalization” of ties.

Turkey and the UAE engage in a new war of words over Libya, where the two states support opposing sides in the African country’s long-running conflict, with Abu Dhabi calling on Ankara to stop interfering in the Arab world’s affairs.

Turkey has warned that Egypt would embark on a “dangerous adventure” if it went ahead with a plan to deploy troops in the North African country.

The Egyptian parliament has unanimously approved the deployment of troops outside the country, laying the groundwork for a possible military intervention in Libya.

Turkey is reportedly planning to set up two permanent military bases in Libya when Tripoli’s counter-offensive against Haftar’s forces comes to an end.

Experts say the UAE's ambitious foreign policy has overshadowed Saudi Arabia's regional standing, and even reduced Riyadh into a subordinate of Abu Dhabi in Libya war.
