The “Libya Stabilization Act,” introduced by Representative Ted Deutch, chairman of the US House North Africa and Middle East Subcommittee, is expected to be debated in Congress.
Deutch submitted the bill in October 2019, and it was approved unanimously by the House Foreign Affairs Committee last week.
Since April 2019, Libya has been subjected to rising foreign involvement in an escalating conflict that threatens US interests and regional stability, according to the Representative.
The war has “threatened European security, destabilized Libya and the Eastern Mediterranean more generally, and intensified a humanitarian and migrant crisis,” he said.

Three Republican members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee demanded Wednesday that the inspector general at the U.S. Department of State investigate Special Envoy John Kerry to determine the validity of recently surfaced allegations that he shared sensitive information about Israeli military operations with Iran.
Reps. Andy Barr (R-KY), Ann Wagner (R-MO), and Lee Zeldin (R-NY) made the demand for an immediate, impartial probe in a letter sent Wednesday to Diana Shaw, the acting IG who oversees the State Department, asking her to “investigate Special Envoy Kerry’s relationship with Iranian Foreign Minister [FM Mohammad Javad] Zarif and determine whether his security clearance should be revoked or not.”
