Director of the Dubai Regional Media Hub of the US Department of State Samuel Werberg said that the United States welcomed the outcomes of the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF). He added that the elections that are scheduled to be held in December must be respected by all parties for they represent the choice and desire of the Libyan people.

Werberg stipulated the importance of withdrawing mercenaries and foreign forces from Libya asserting that Turkey must clarify its stance on the North African state as it is either with the Libyan people or against it.

Werberg confirmed that the United States called upon all parties to withdraw all armed elements from Libyan territories. "We are watching, and if the call is ignored by Turkey, I cannot tell what will happen," he stated.

Furthermore, the American official said the United States realizes that Egypt would be influenced by the spread of terrorism in Libya.

Werberg told an Egyptian TV show Saturday that the Biden Administration would not repeal Trump's decisions pertinent to Palestine and that the US Embassy's headquarters in Israel would remain in Jerusalem so as it would not be moved back to Tel Aviv.

Werberg went on saying that stated the Biden Administration prioritizes backing a peaceful solution in Yemen through negotiations among other issues in the Middle East.
