[quote]PARIS, Feb 17 (KUNA) -- France confirmed here on Tuesday that the Libyan situation will be brought before the UN Security Council for debate on Wednesday, in the presence of a senior Egyptian and pertinent UN officials. Foreign Ministry spokesman Romain Nadal said in answer to KUNA questions that the world body will be examining the Libyan issue in a day's time. Egyptian President Abdelfattah Al-Sisi earlier urged the Security Council to take action to stop Libya being completely overrun by terrorism and he said that Egypt was willing to take part in international action alongside France and Italy, for example, to support the "legal" authorities in Libya and the Libyan army. Nadal said that "Sameh Shoukri, the Egyptian Minister for Foreign Affairs, is in New York on the occasion" of the UNSC meeting. "The work of the Council will allow support for the stabilisation efforts led by the United Nations Special Envoy, Bernadino Leon," the French spokesman remarked. France said two months ago that it would not intervene alone in Libya but would work to contain terrorist groups in the south of the country. French President Francois Hollande did say that France would examine participation in an intervention approved by the UN if there was "a clear mandate and conditions" for action.[/quote] [url=https://www.kuna.net.kw/ArticleDetails.aspx?id=2425361&Language=en]Kuwait news Agency[/url] [quote]Italy is ready to lead a multilateral effort to tackle the growing threat from jihadists in Libya and prevent “a caliphate” forming across the sea from Europe’s shores, the Italian defence minister has said. Last month, ISIS claimed responsibility for a deadly attack on the Corinthia hotel in Libya’s capital, Tripoli, and yesterday the group released a video purportedly depicting the beheading of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians, filmed on the shores of the Mediterranean sea. In the video, the militants talk of conquering Rome and point out to sea towards the Italian coast. The eastern Libyan town of Derna which is under the terror group’s control, is approximately 520 miles from the southern tip of Italy. In comments made to Italy’s Il Messaggero newspaper, Italian defence minister Roberta Pinotti spoke of the “imminent” risk posed to Italy by radical Islamist groups in the north African state beset by unrest between warring factions. Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi has also called on the UN to implement a “stronger mission” in Libya because Europe has to “stop sleeping” as jihadist groups continue to thrive near Europe’s borders. While it is unclear what action any potential international coalition would take in regard to Libya, French president Francois Hollande and Egyptian president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi today called for an urgent UN Security Council (UNSC) meeting to discuss how to halt the terror group’s advance in the country.[/quote] [url=http://www.newsweek.com/italy-ready-lead-coalition-libya-prevent-caliphate-europes-shores-307100]Newsweek[/url]

Should that fail, then send in coalition air strikes.
