GNA is Libya’s Government of National Accord, a UN-backed authority navigating Libya’s eastern–western realignment as Tripoli reopens its embassy and pacts with Ankara reshape the region.
The Tobruk-based House of Representatives has unanimously approved the 2019 maritime memorandum with Türkiye, reversing a 2020 rejection. The move follows Ankara’s military-to-military accord with Haftar’s LNA and comes as Greece, Egypt and the EU denounce the deal as a violation of international law and Egypt’s sovereign rights.
Eastern Libyan Parliament has ratified the 2019 maritime memorandum with Turkey, reversing years of opposition. Greece, Egypt, and Cyprus reject the move; the EU calls it null and void. The vote underscores a broader shift as Haftar-aligned forces seek strategic gains and Ankara strengthens influence in both Libya and the eastern Mediterranean.
Egypt has reopened its Tripoli embassy, signaling a shift from backing eastern Libyan forces toward a more balanced approach amid regional realignments. The move follows Libya’s parliament approving a maritime agreement with Turkey, and Cairo is pursuing ties with western Libyan institutions while sustaining dialogue with Haftar’s camp.
