Highlights
- Increased military support from Turkey could allow the Government of National Accord and its allies to better withstand the Libyan National Army's (LNA) offensive on Tripoli.
- But in response to Turkey's involvement, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Saudi Arabia will expand their support for the LNA.
- Although it is willing to deploy combat troops to Libya, Ankara is more likely to send equipment and train local forces than deploy a significant combat troop presence.
