Intelligence Online revealed that a high-level meeting will bring together the Libyan parties, on Tuesday, in the French capital, Paris, in order to hold talks that pave the way for resolving the crisis.

But after the news of this meeting spread, the team of the Prime Minister of Tripoli, Fayez al-Sarraj, withdrew from visiting Paris, under pressure from Turkey, which provides generous support to the militias.

Al-Sarraj told the French diplomats that he will not be able to visit France this week, because he first needs to direct what he said was a necessary speech to the Libyan people, in order to present the framework for conducting negotiations.

Accordingly, Tripoli decided to send the Minister of the Interior, Fathi Bash Agha.

Initially, the website reported that Paris arranged to receive the Libyan National Army Commander, Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, the Speaker of the Libyan Parliament, Aqila Saleh, and the Prime Minister of Tripoli, Fayez al-Sarraj, on the seventh of September.

It is expected that the Libyan parties will continue their discussions about what was previously started in Bouznika talks in Morocco, on the sixth of September, in order to solve the Libyan crisis that has persisted for years.

France wagered on the participation of German and Italian diplomats in order to facilitate "thawing the ice" and holding talks between Libyan officials.

The source mentioned that this diplomatic effort was led by a small team of French presidential advisers; They are Emmanuel Boone, Patrick Durrell and Paul Soler, seeking to block Turkish expansion.

Paris expressed positions rejecting the Turkish intervention in Libya by transferring weapons, despite the existence of an international embargo, as well as the transfer of thousands of mercenaries from Syria to Libya in order to fight in the ranks of the militias loyal to Sarraj.

France is mobilizing the countries of the European Union to confront Turkish ambitions, especially in light of its deliberate provocation in the eastern Mediterranean region, through oil exploration in a disputed area with Greece and Cyprus, while it signed a controversial agreement regarding its legality with the Sarraj government to demarcate “maritime borders” “.
