TRIPOLI, Libya — Libya’s Tripoli-based Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibah signed two deals with Turkey’s defense minister on Tuesday, building on a 2019 agreement that angered European nations. Dbeibah’s administration posted a statement saying the deals included “implementation protocols for the security agreement” signed that year by authorities in Tripoli, who at the time were fending off a blistering assault by eastern-based military chief Khalifa Haftar. The 2019 deal had seen Turkey claim large and potentially gas-rich areas of the eastern Mediterranean, angering Greece, France and the European Union. The latest deals come three weeks after Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu signed a deal in Tripoli allowing for oil and gas exploration in Libya’s Mediterranean waters. AdvertisementThat was also built on the 2019 deal, which demarcated the countries’ shared maritime borders but sparked anger in Greece and Cyprus.

“There will never be such a thing as our abandonment of the nuclear weapons or denuclearization,” Kim declared last month. After North Korea last month declared itself a nuclear weapons state, it’s time for the U.S. and its allies to accept this reality — and learn to live with it. Jeffrey Lewis, a leading nuclear weapons expert, has called on Washington to “contemplate the unthinkable” and accept North Korea’s nuclear statehood, citing the increasing risks of a flashpoint as South Korea and Japan talk up first-strike capability. The window for military action against North Korea closed during the Clinton administration, when the U.S. considered a preemptive strike. The South Korean public is already roundly in favor of also possessing nuclear weapons.

The prime ministers of the two rival governments of Libya have both arrived in Istanbul, Turkey, Italian news agency Nova reports. Citing unnamed Libyan sources, Nova stated that the two are currently in Turkey, a country to which the two rivals have strong connections. However, the Italian news agency did not clarify whether Dbeibeh and Bashagha will meet each other there or will they hold separate talks with Turkish officials. Nova did report that Khaled Al-Mishri, the chairman of Libya’s High Council of State, is also currently in the Turkish metropolis. Al-Mishri and Saleh agreed to form a unified government before next year, which Dbeibeh rejected.

New York [US], October 25 (ANI): India on Monday at the UNSC meeting on Libya said there is no military or armed solution to Libya's issues and this point needs to be emphasized by the international community, including by this Council. During a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) meeting on Libya, Permanent Representative to the UN, Ruchira Kamboj said, "There is no military or armed solution to the issues facing Libya. "The security council has in the past expressed its condemnation of the violent clashes in Tripoli. Last month, we saw more clashes between armed groups in Libya leading to civilian casualties."

“The situation in Libya requires a process of relegitimation of the consensual State. Legitimate institutions capable of meeting the basic needs of the people must be established on the basis of genuine political will. No end in sight “The political impasse persists with no clear end in sight to the long-running impasse over the executive,” Mr Bathily told the Council. These numbers do not include the approximately 3,243 migrants who are arbitrarily detained in government-run detention centers,” he added. Mr. Bathily said that the Libyan authorities must ensure due process and a fair trial for those detained on credible charges.
