Libyan Parliament Approves Turkish-Libyan Maritime Deal, Reversing 2020 Boycott

Libya's parliament approved the 2019 Turkish-Libyan maritime delimitation memorandum and revoked a 2020 boycott decision, per two lawmakers cited by Reuters. This reverses Tripoli's earlier stance and aligns with Turkey's claims in the Eastern Mediterranean, potentially escalating tensions with Greece and complicating Chevron's planned operations in disputed waters.

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.
