European Commissioner for Migration, Magnus Brunner, has indicated that the European Union may consider tying migration negotiations with Libya to other issues such as development aid and facilitating visa access for Libyan citizens.

Libya and Tunisia activists plan Gaza-bound Maghreb Solidarity Fleet
Activist coalitions from Libya and Tunisia have announced plans to launch a maritime mission—dubbed the Maghreb Solidarity Fleet—to challenge the blockade on Gaza. In a joint statement, the coordinators said preparations are under way for the voyage, after an overland attempt by the Convoy of Steadfastness was halted by forces loyal to Khalifa Haftar at the western entrance to the city of Sirte. The group, which included participants from across the Maghreb, was forced to return to Tunisia. A press conference is scheduled for Monday, 14 July, where organisers will unveil further details of the upcoming mission. The earlier land convoy, which began in June, was denied passage to Egypt through Libya, reportedly due to the lack of required entry visas. The planned maritime initiative is the latest in a series of regional efforts aimed at expressing solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza amid worsening humanitarian conditions under the ongoing blockade.
