Egypt rejects Libyan maritime agreement
Egypt has called for non-recognition of the maritime Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2019 between Fayez al-Sarraj and Turkey, which the Libyan House of Representatives approved. Egypt described it as invalid and in violation of international law. The Egyptian Foreign Ministry emphasized that the memorandum infringes upon Egypt's sovereign rights in its Exclusive Economic Zone and Continental Shelf, and that the Libyan parliament's ratification has no legal effect for Egypt. It reiterated its commitment to protect its rights in accordance with international law and to oppose any measures that encroach upon its declared maritime boundaries.
