Egypt identities bodies in a capsized boat off Tobruk
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry has announced the identification of several bodies of those who died in a capsized boat off Tobruk after departing from Libya. The ministry said in a statement Wednesday that it had taken the necessary measures to transport the victims via the land border crossing after their families in Egypt identified them, in coordination with the Libyan side. According to the statement, the ministry also took measures to deport the survivors to their country upon completion of the ongoing investigations, monitored by the Egyptian consulate in Libya. In its statement, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry urged all Egyptian citizens to refrain from using irregular migration routes due to the grave risks they entail, in addition to their exposure to exploitation by human trafficking networks. Eighteen Egyptian migrants died and 50 others went missing when a boat capsized off the coast of Tobruk, east of the country, earlier this week. According to the International Organization for Migration, 10 bodies have been identified, and 10 others survived the boat sinking. The bodies of the migrants were found on the beach of Al-Aqila, 25 kilometers east of Tobruk, according to Reuters, citing a source from the city's coast guard.

Dbeibah in Istanbul summit: My government is capable of playing a balanced and responsible regional role
The Head of Government of National Unity, Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, stressed on Friday the need to strengthen partnerships in the fields of energy, oil and gas, and infrastructure, and to link Libya to regional projects in the Mediterranean, including investment in ports, development of electrical grids, and support for joint strategic projects, within the framework of development integration that serves the interests of the peoples of the region and provides new opportunities for growth. This came during the trilateral summit held in Istanbul, which brought together Dbeibah, Turkish President Recep, Tayyip Erdoğan, and Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, to discuss regional cooperation, stability, and economic integration in the Mediterranean region, according to a statement issued by Dbeibah's government. Dbeibah stressed Libya's keen interest in consolidating effective partnerships based on a balanced position and mutual respect, and its efforts to restore its regional role as an effective and reliable partner, reflecting the improvement of the political and security situation in the country. The GNU stated that the summit addressed prospects for economic cooperation between the three countries. Dbeibah reviewed in his statement the field efforts led by his government to combat smuggling networks and illegal activities. He also presented a comprehensive vision for enhancing regional coordination in this regard, calling for a quadripartite ministerial meeting, including Libya, Turkey, Italy, and Qatar, to begin implementing joint projects and unify efforts on priority issues. He noted that the State of Qatar has expressed its practical willingness to participate in the areas of logistical, humanitarian, and technical support. Dbeibah also addressed the large-scale security operation recently launched by his government in the capital, Tripoli, and a number of other areas, noting that this campaign aims to end the influence of outlaw armed groups involved in blackmailing state institutions and interfering in their sovereign work. He emphasized that this operation is not a temporary measure, but rather reflects a clear political and security choice to restore the state's prestige and build institutions that operate under the law, free from tutelage or threat. He considered the dismantling of these parallel structures a pivotal step toward ending the influence of gangs and enabling the state to extend its full authority over its institutions and facilities, thus creating a climate for implementing national policies on various issues, most notably migration and borders. He emphasized that the government is in a "stronger position politically and on the ground, and is now capable of playing a balanced and responsible regional role." He noted that the tripartite summit represents clear political support for the sovereign path pursued by the Libyan state and reflects growing international recognition of its efforts to consolidate stability and cooperation in the Mediterranean basin.

Egyptian Foreign Ministry official denies reports of attempted storming of embassy in Tripoli
An official source at the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has denied the accuracy of reports claiming that protesters attempted to storm the Egyptian embassy building in Tripoli to demand the opening of the Rafah border crossing with Gaza. The Egyptian source has also clarified that the building is not currently affiliated with the Egyptian embassy in Libya, but is a vacant property that was previously used by the embassy over a decade ago. He confirmed that no Egyptian embassy staff are currently present in that building. In exclusive remarks to Youm7, the source expressed confidence that Libyan authorities are providing the highest levels of security to ensure the safety of the Egyptian diplomatic mission and its members in Libya, allowing them to carry out their work normally. Protesters gathered outside the Egyptian embassy building in the capital, Tripoli, calling for the opening of the Rafah border crossing and the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. Photos circulated by activists showed a young man raising the Palestinian flag atop the embassy building before being arrested later. Activists and the family of the young man, Ayham Al-Gharyani, called on the Government of National Unity and the Ministry of Interior to cooperate with them in revealing the fate of the young man, who was abducted in a civilian vehicle after entering the Egyptian embassy building and raising the Palestinian flag on top of it. A statement from the "Nafir" protest movement said that the young man was abducted in an unmarked vehicle, beaten, and dragged before being forced into the car in front of security forces stationed at the scene, who did not intervene. The activists also announced the beginning of an open-ended sit-in outside the Egyptian embassy until the fate of Ayham Al-Gharyani is revealed.
