The League of Arab States called on the President of the Libyan Presidential Council, Mohamed Al-Menfi, the Speaker of the Libyan House of Representatives, Aguila Saleh, and the President of the Libyan Consultative State Council, Mohamed Tekala, to a dialogue session to resolve the Libyan crisis.

The League said in a statement that the dialogue session will be held on Sunday at the headquarters of the Arab League in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, with the aim of facilitating dialogue and bringing together the views of the Libyan parties.

The Secretary-General’s spokesman, Jamal Rushdie, stated that this call “comes as a sense of the Arab League’s authentic responsibilities towards this important Arab country, at this delicate time, and as an effort to get Libya out of its long-standing crisis, and its burdens and consequences have increased.”

Rashidi pointed to the suffering of Libyan citizens, “who are now looking to their politicians to get out of this suffocating situation by neutralizing narrow interests and putting the country’s supreme interest above any considerations”.

This session comes at a time when the initiative of the UN envoy Abdullah Batele to hold a five-way meeting between the Libyan parties that includes Al-Menfi, Saleh, and Tekala, along with the head of the Libyan Government of National Unity, Abdul Hamid Dabaiba, and the commander of the General Command forces, Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, has so far failed.
