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.
