[Libya Observer] The member of the Military Joint Commission of 10 for the Government of National Accord (GNA) al-Fituri Ghribil said all forces will be withdrawing from Sirte and Jufra gradually as the two areas are considered lines of contacts according to the latest agreement made by the two parties in Ghadames and before that in Geneva.Ghribil told local media on Wednesday that the gradual work of the committees will focus on the withdrawal of foreign mercenaries first as in addition to the heavy weapons until all forces return to their previous positions as before April 04 2019; Khalifa Haftar ...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy, so it's kind of hard to describe him as a Qadaffy holdover. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war. Guess you can't win them all. Actually, he is, but slowly... 's war on Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... Ghribil indicated that the area to be covered by the joint force after the withdrawal of the forces will be from south Soukna — Fuqahaa Checkpoint — to Abu Grein westward and Ben Jawad eastward.
Ghribil said the joint police force from all across Libya will be tasked with securing the area from which the forces will pull out, adding that all forces will be withdrawing from the regions, cities and towns in which there were armed conflicts across the country; starting with Sirte and Jufra.
He explained that the forces from Benghazi, Misrata and Tripoli will all return to their previous positions as before the war.
Ghribil said the Joint Ministry Commission will be securing the areas from which all forces withdraw in cooperation with the joint police force, saying the military commission will have two headquarters in Sirte and Jufra.
He remarked that the military commission of 10 will be in Sirte and Jufra with the branch committees to monitor the withdrawal and report on the implementation of the ceasefire and withdrawal agreement.

Speaking in his weekly program on Tanasuh TV, he added that the UNSMIL neglected the Libyans by selecting their representatives who obey their orders in the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum.
"This will lead to a repeat of the Skhirat dialogue and its disastrous results", Sheikh al-Gharyani explained, calling on the Libyan Army's Volcano of Rage Operation to prepare for the war that is being plotted against them.

[YNet] - Advisor to the Chief of the Armenian Army General Staff Vladimir Pogosyan on Thursday likened Israel to Nazi Germany and vowed vengeance for its support of Azerbaijan in the conflict in the Nagorno-Karabakh region.
"Politicians in Armenia have finally begun to realize what Europe and Israel are, especially Israel. Today's Israel and 1933's Germany are the same. The only difference is that I already understood it from the first war," Podosyan wrote on Facebook. And then they're surprised that even Russia doesn't supports them.
[Jpost] Restrictions on financial institutions part of effort to ’criminalize the Paleostinian struggle,’ professor says.
To circumvent Israeli sanctions on the Paleostinian banking system, the Paleostinian Authority decided this week to permanently cease paying monthly stipends to about 7,000 former prisoners, in order to transfer them to work within security, military or civilian institutions, so they can receive salaries as babus government employees.
A questionnaire was distributed in the past few days to all Paleostine Liberation Organization followers who spent time in Israeli prisons, to identify their qualifications and allow them to choose into which field they prefer to integrate.
Hasan Abd Rabbo, the spokesperson of the PLO’s Commission of Detainee Affairs, explained to The Media Line that recently the commission worked to fill out the questionnaires for those prisoners who spent more than five years in Israeli prisons, "in order to transfer them to become PA employees, based on their wishes and the information they provide us."
Abd Rabbo clarified that payments to the families of "current prisoners [in Israel] and deaders" will remain unchanged, "including their salaries, legal expenses and everything they need, which come as part of the greatest Paleostinian national interest."
He stressed that the change is intended to protect the former prisoners’ income, amid Israeli and American pressure to deal with them as terrorists. "The move is providing these former prisoners job security and social stability."
Many banks in the West Bank closed accounts of relatives of "prisoners and deaders," after the Israeli army threatened the financial institutions, accused them of serving terrorists, said such stipends encouraged terrorism, and set a deadline to close the accounts, Abd Rabbo said. "And the most recent deadline given to the banks expires at the end of next month [December 31]," he added.
"But the PA has made a decision to establish a national bank, to serve the prisoners and the families of deaders," Abd Rabbo continued.
