So-called deputy prime minister of Haftar-controlled eastern Libya government, Abdul Salam Al Badri, has called on Israel to help fight what he called “our joint enemy – Erdogan.”

In an interview with Israeli newspaper Makor Rishon, Badri sent a message to the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying: "We have never been enemies and we hope you will support us.”

He also called on Israel to launch a political initiative in cooperation with Greece, Cyprus, Egypt and Lebanon to sign a joint maritime agreement, similar to the maritime border agreement signed between Turkey and the Libyan Government of National Accord in Tripoli.
