Saudi Arabia is shifting its support from the UAE-backed General Khalifa Haftar to Libya"s Tripoli government, known as the Government of National Unity (GNU). The Kingdom is coordinating an invitation for GNU Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah to visit Saudi Arabia.

Egypt has also been seen moving towards support for the GNU, with several government planes from the GNU reportedly traveling to Cairo recently. This indicates a broader regional trend in favor of the Tripoli government.

These developments come amid ongoing political dynamics in Libya, where various factions vie for power. The shift in Saudi support reflects changing alliances in the region.
