Chairman of the Presidential Council of Libya and Prime Minister of the Government of National Accord (GNA) Fayez al-Sarraj chaired Tuesday a meeting with senior military and security officials of his government in Tripoli. Sarraj was briefed on the arrangements made to ensure the safety of citizens and deter whoever tries to harm their lives, properties and public facilities, according to a statement issued by his office, He also approved a number of security plans and programs presented during the meeting. Meanwhile, intermittent clashes among armed militias in the Libyan capital continued for the second day despite the announcement of implementing a temporary ceasefire. Five people were killed and 33 wounded on Monday, the Health Ministry said, adding that the injured were sent to three public hospitals and a private clinic for treatment. Libya’s Special Deterrent Force mourned four of its officers and said they were killed in defense of the city of Tripoli, noting in a brief statement that their funeral was held Tuesday afternoon. Aslo, dispute between France and Italy on how to end the Libyan crisis has continued to escalate. Italy considers French President Emmanuel Macrons demand to hold elections in Libya by December is "unrealistic," especially after the clashes in Tripoli. "The hypothesis of the elections announced by Macron, (with the threat Tripoli is witnessing) is similar to its European policy; simply unrealistic," Italian Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs was reported as saying in a tweet by Italy’s Aki news agency. Macron, for his part, reaffirmed his determination to see Libyans head to polls. He was behind a May meeting in Paris at which four Libyan leaders agreed to prepare the country for elections at the end of the year, despite ongoing instability. I believe very deeply in restoring Libyan sovereignty, Macron told French ambassadors in Libya. Our role is to push forward the Paris accord in this country that has become the scenario of all external interests.
