The recent direct aggression on Libya has led to unprecedented escalation that poses a real threat to regional stability, Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said Tuesday. "This aggression cannot be left undeterred," Shoukry added in his speech during an extraordinary Arab League session held today via videoconferencing at the level of foreign ministers. He noted that "when Egypt discloses its various options in dealing with the Libyan crisis, this must be taken with due seriousness." Shoukry reaffirmed Egypt's firm position in support of an all-out political settlement that preserves Libya's unity and territorial integrity, while working for restoring the country's state institutions to bring back stability to Libya and attain the aspirations of the Libyan people. From this standpoint, Egypt has always sought to bring closer the points of view between the conflict parties to bridge the gap between them through all diplomatic means, Shoukry pointed out. He added that, in pursuance of this vision, Egypt has played a major role in all international initiatives aimed at bringing about a political solution to the crisis in Libya.
