Libya Parliament Ratifies 2019 Maritime Deal with Türkiye, Escalating Eastern Mediterranean Tensions

Libya's Tobruk-based parliament (House of Representatives) has unanimously ratified the 2019 maritime delimitation agreement with Türkiye, reversing its previous rejection and a 2020 boycott decision. This move, while not yet binding on the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord, is confirmed to have escalated tensions with Greece, Egypt, and Cyprus, which view the deal as infringing on their Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) claims. The EU has condemned the ratification, and Greece has declared the memorandum invalid, vowing to take all necessary actions.
