Libyan Parliament Backs Turkey Maritime Deal, Raising Israeli Energy Project Concerns

Libya's parliament in the east has approved a 2019 maritime deal with Turkey, strengthening Ankara's regional claims and potentially impacting Israel's energy projects. Greece has rejected the agreement, citing violations of maritime law. The deal could delay Israel's energy infrastructure plans, including an underwater electricity cable connecting to Europe. This development follows a warming of relations between Turkey and factions in Libya, despite past military conflicts. The situation remains contentious, with Greece vowing to protect its rights and Turkey asserting its claims under the "Blue Homeland" doctrine.
