In an interview on 26 May General Haftar announced that his forces were to continue fighting until the defeat of the anti-Libyan National Army (LNA) in Tripoli, Voice of America (VOA) reports. This statement echoes the declaration made by Haftar during his meeting two weeks with French President Macron that he was not considering a cease-fire. Such statements suggest that tensions are likely to persist and could intensify within the coming weeks.
