Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah and Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa held a telephone conversation on Wednesday to address the escalating military tensions in the Middle East and the resulting threats to regional security.
Against a backdrop of increasing volatility, the two leaders reviewed the security landscape and the potential implications of the conflict for the stability of nations throughout the region.
During the call, Prime Minister Dbeibah conveyed Tripoli’s grave concern regarding the risk of the conflict widening. He firmly stated that Libya opposes any military actions targeting Syria or other Arab nations, arguing that such operations jeopardize regional stability and the safety of civilian populations. Dbeibah’s position reflects a diplomatic strategy centered on upholding state sovereignty and pursuing peaceful resolutions to regional crises. He urged all parties involved to prioritize dialogue and negotiation, calling for the immediate resumption of diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the situation.
President Al-Sharaa welcomed Tripoli’s commitment to respecting Syrian sovereignty and emphasized the urgent need for enhanced coordination and consultation among Arab nations to navigate current security challenges. He noted that increased cooperation is essential to effectively manage and mitigate regional tensions. This communication is part of a broader series of diplomatic engagements among regional leaders who are attempting to align their positions to prevent a total spread of the conflict. For Libya, this initiative underscores its desire to play an active role in regional stability efforts, guided by a foreign policy that emphasizes the principles of state sovereignty and non-interference in the internal affairs of other nations at a time when regional balances remain precarious.
