Libya Parliament Ratifies 2019 Maritime Deal with Türkiye, Escalating Regional Tensions

Libya's Tobruk-based parliament (House of Representatives) has unanimously ratified the 2019 maritime delimitation agreement with Türkiye, reversing its prior rejection and aligning with Ankara's claims. This move, while not yet binding on the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord, significantly escalates tensions with Greece, Egypt, and Cyprus, which view the deal as invalid and a challenge to their Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) claims. The EU has condemned the ratification, signaling potential diplomatic or legal countermeasures.
