Earlier in the day, Sisi met at his Cairo residence with the military and parliamentary delegations from Libya, led by Haftar and Saleh, respectively. The president urged the Libyan sides to combine their positions, according to the news outlet. Egypt is said to have called for several amendments to the Cairo initiative to settle the Libyan crisis, pioneered by Sisi, including those on an international mechanism for the disbandment of armed groups. After the ouster and assassination of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, the country was plunged into a brutal civil war. The initiative was supported by Russia, the United States and a number of Arab countries, such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
