Turkiye and Libya’s Haftar are boosting military ties. Is Egypt worried?
- Turkiye is expanding its military cooperation with eastern Libyan forces, raising questions about Egypt’s strategic red lines and regional security.
- After years of being the primary backer of the internationally recognised government in Tripoli, Turkiye is now rapidly expanding its military footprint to a rival authority in eastern Libya.
- This strategic shift has seen Ankara move from dialogue with the eastern-based General Command of renegade military commander Khalifa Haftar to tangible technical and military cooperation with his self-styled Libyan National Army (LNA).
