EU mission in Libya urges all parties to deescalate amid military buildup news in Tripoli
The European Union's (EU) mission to Libya and the diplomatic missions of EU member states have called on all Libyan parties to exercise immediate restraint and resolve disputes peacefully, stressing the need to uphold the ceasefire and agreed security arrangements. The statement emphasized the importance of protecting civilians and civilian infrastructure in accordance with international law. It reaffirmed the EU's commitment to accountability for anyone who threatens peace or harms civilians and national institutions, expressing readiness to support deescalation efforts and promote constructive dialogue under UN auspices. Meanwhile, the Libyan capital, Tripoli, is witnessing heightened tensions and an atmosphere of unease, amid persistent reports and undisclosed movements suggesting the potential for a military operation by the Government of National Unity against armed groups within the city. Eyewitnesses have reported intermittent movements of convoys of armed vehicles coming from the city of Misrata and towns in the Nafusa Mountain region toward military camps in Tripoli. Others reported the arrival of similar convoys at camps in the Tajoura area, the eastern suburb of Tripoli, indicating a significant military buildup among government forces.

New EU delegation to meet Haftar after previous one expelled
European Union (EU) leaders have agreed to send a new diplomatic delegation to Libya, following Khalifa Haftar's request for the previous EU delegation to leave Libyan territory in recent days. The decision was made during a meeting between Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, and Maltese Prime Minister Robert Abela, on the sidelines of the 'Ukraine Recovery Conference' hosted in the Italian capital, Rome, on Thursday, according to Euronews. According to Euronews, the leaders emphasized the importance of 're-engaging with Libya' as a key partner on issues of migration, energy, and regional security. They also stressed the need to revive the 'Team Europe' initiative by sending a new diplomatic delegation, including representatives from the European Commission, as well as ministers from Mediterranean EU countries — Greece, Italy, and Malta. This European move comes after rising tensions between the EU mission and the parallel government and Haftar's forces, following their refusal on July 8 to receive EU Commissioner for Migration Magnus Brunner and the interior ministers of Italy, Greece, and Malta. Their aircraft had landed at Benghazi International Airport that evening, but Haftar had conditioned the meeting on the presence of ministers from the parallel government — a demand the delegation refused.
