Libya's rival factions back parliament's approval of maritime deal with Türkiye

Libyan officials from both the eastern and western administrations welcomed the parliament's approval of a maritime agreement with Türkiye, framing it as a step toward stronger bilateral ties and protection of maritime rights. The deal, which likely delineates exclusive economic zones in the eastern Mediterranean, could affect regional energy exploration and align with Türkiye's broader maritime claims. The approval signals rare cross-factional consensus in Libya, though its implementation and international recognition remain uncertain.
