Head of the Government of National Accord (GNA) Fayez al-Sarraj conveyed the French President Emmanuel Macron's total rejection of attacking the capital Tripoli and threatening the life of civilians.
According to a statement issued by Sarraj, Macron affirmed the importance of coming backing to the political process and halting the fighting.
Sarraj and Macron met on the sidelines of the funeral of Tunisian President Beji Caid Essebsi.
Furthermore, during his meeting with UN Special Envoy to Libya Ghassan Salame on Saturday in Tunisia, Sarraj stressed that the resumption of the political process in Libya “depends on the withdrawal of the aggressor forces and their return from where they came.”
He reiterated the “need for new rules for this process, taking into account the outcomes of the aggression, and insisted that "there is no military solution to the Libyan crisis and that there is no alternative to a political solution.”
Further, Salame stressed the UN’s condemnation of all attacks targeting civilians and civilian installations, which violate the International Humanitarian Law and the International Human Rights Law.
The meeting tackled ongoing talks in preparation for a Security Council session on the conditions in Libya.
In another development, Tripoli authorities announced that the field hospital located on the airport road [20 km southern Tripoli] was hit by an air raid. Four doctors were killed and eight other people were wounded.
The airport road is one of seven axes witnessing clashes between the Libyan National Army (LNA) and the pro-Sarraj forces since Haftar launched in April the operation to liberate Tripoli.
Moreover, Italy admitted on Sunday to have a military base in Misrata, in the west of Libya, in addition to a vessel in Tripoli, conducting technical and logistic tasks for the interest of the Libyan navy.
