President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi met in Cairo, on Thursday, with representatives of the Libyan tribes. The meeting, entitled "Egypt, Libya – one people, one destiny", reviewed Egypt's efforts and role in ending the Libyan conflict and saving its unity and sovereignty. Al-Sisi stressed that the main objective behind his country's efforts regarding Libya has been to activate the free will of the Libyan people, to improve the country's future for coming generations. During an inspection of Egypt's Western Military Zone in June, Al-Sisi said that Egypt is ready to support Libyan tribes in defending their country's security and stability. He also emphasised Egypt's readiness to receive, train and prepare some members of Libya's tribes. In a statement early on Tuesday, Libya's House of Representatives said that Egypt has the right to intervene in Libya to protect the national security of both countries. It added that Egypt also has the right to deter "the blatant Turkish intervention and invasion of Libya", if it observes an imminent threat. The Libyan parliament asserted that it is the only elected and legitimate representative of the Libyan people. It added that it welcomes comments made by President Al-Sisi in late June, in the presence of Libyan tribal representatives, in which he said Egypt is ready to intervene in the war-torn country "if the Libyan people asked us".
