For the Italian newspaper, this was a strong message to Turkey that Egypt would intervene militarily to protect its western borders and achieve stability in Libya should Ankara continue its destabilising actions.
The newspaper cited the president’s statements, saying that "any direct interference from the Egyptian state has international legitimacy, whether within the framework of the United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...

Sisi also stressed that the first objective of the Egyptian intervention is to "protect and secure the western borders of the state with its strategic depth from the threat of terrorist militias and mercenaries. As for the second goal, it will be the fast restoration of security and stability on the Libyan scene as an integral part of the security and stability of Egypt and the Arab national security, and the third is stopping the bloodshed of Libyan brothers in the east and west, by creating the conditions for a ceasefire and preventing any of the parties from overcoming the current conditions."
