Cairo rejects Libyan maritime deal
Egypt has reaffirmed its rejection of the Libyan Parliament's approval of the memorandum of understanding regarding maritime zones with Turkey, considering it invalid and lacking any legal effect. It also stated that the memorandum, registered in 2019 between the Government of Sarraj and Turkey, exceeds applicable legal norms and infringes upon Egypt's sovereign rights in its economic zone and continental shelf in the Mediterranean Sea. Conversely, the Libyan Parliament approved the agreement to strengthen the country's economic and political interests and rescinded previous decisions to cut ties with Turkey. This move has sparked objections from Greece and other countries, which view the agreement as lacking a legal international basis and as a threat to stability in the region.
