The parliament in eastern Libya approved the maritime border agreement with Turkey, a move that constitutes a real strategic danger to Israel. The agreement could hinder Israel's plans to connect to European energy infrastructure via Cyprus and Greece, particularly regarding the Great Sea Interconnector submarine power cable. Turkey claims that part of the route passes through an area under its jurisdiction and demands prior coordination. Greece rejects the agreement, arguing it violates the law of the sea, while Turkey welcomes it. Retired Turkish Admiral Cem Gürdeniz, associated with the 'Blue Homeland' concept, described the decision as one of Turkey's most important diplomatic achievements.
