Egypt rejects Libyan maritime deal with Turkey

The article discussed Egypt's refusal to ratify a maritime agreement between Libya and Turkey, which was signed by the Libyan House of Representatives and considered by Cairo to have no legal effects. It explained that the agreement includes delimiting maritime borders in the Mediterranean Sea and defining the economic zones for both Libya and Turkey, a move opposed by Egypt and Greece. Egypt considers the agreement illegal because it encroaches on Egyptian economic waters, while Greece described it as illogical and neglecting the presence of the island of Crete. In 2020, Egypt and Greece signed an agreement to delineate their maritime boundaries, with Egypt stating that the purpose was to facilitate investment in hydrocarbon resources, while Turkey rejected the agreement. The Libyan ratification of the deal coincided with a visit by a high-ranking Turkish official to Tripoli, reflecting a possible shift in Libya's political stance and an increasing influence of Turkey in the region.
