What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Greece and Egypt agreed in principle to launch negotiations to extend their Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) agreement eastward. This decision followed the unanimous approval by Libya’s eastern-based House of Representatives of the 2019 maritime agreement signed with Turkey on October 20. The proposed extension would cover waters east of the 28th meridian, near the Greek island of Kastellorizo.
