RIYADH: The Muslim World League (MWL) said Sunday that member countries stand by Egypt in protecting its borders and preserving its security.
Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi on Saturday said his country has a legitimate right to intervene in neighboring Libya and ordered his army to be ready to carry out any mission outside the country, if necessary.
“Any direct intervention from the Egyptian state has now acquired international legitimacy,” El-Sisi said after inspecting military units at an air base near the border with Libya.
He said Egypt had the right to defend itself after receiving “direct threats” from “terrorist militias and mercenaries” supported by foreign countries.
The secretary-general of the MWL Dr. Mohammad bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa also called on the international community to take steps to implement the Cairo declaration regarding Libya.
The Cairo declaration is an initiative for Libya proposing an elected leadership council and a cease-fire. It was announced by El-Sisi on June 6.
The MWL said the declaration aims to find a political solution to the crisis in the country, protect its sovereignty and put and end to illegal foreign interventions.

Syrian forces enter Hasakah after SDF releases Daesh detainees
- Army units are securing Al-Shaddadi prison and its surrounding areas while pursuing the arrests of Daesh detainees
- The Syrian army said it holds the SDF fully responsible for the release of Daesh components
LONDON: The army of the Syrian Arab Republic launched sweeping operations south of Hasakah in the country’s northeast to arrest members of the Daesh terror group on Monday after the Syrian Democratic Forces released them from a prison in the town of Al-Shaddadi.
The army’s Operations Command announced that its units were securing Al-Shaddadi prison and its surrounding areas while also pursuing the arrests of Daesh detainees. The prison and Al-Shaddadi’s security facilities will be handed over to the Ministry of Interior immediately upon completion of security operations, according to the Syrian Arab News Agency.
Syrian military leaders contacted mediators and SDF officials to transfer control of the prison and its perimeter to the government’s internal security forces, but SDF leaders declined, according to SANA.
The Syrian army said it holds the SDF fully responsible for the release of Daesh components from Al-Shaddadi prison, emphasizing that army units would implement necessary measures to restore security in the area.
Syrian forces began deploying across the Jazira region on Monday to secure it under an agreement between the Syrian state and the SDF.
