TREE NEWS update: Libya’s House of Representatives voted on 20 May to annul its earlier resolution to sever political relations with Turkey, the body announced on social media. The same session also approved a 2019 memorandum of understanding on Mediterranean maritime jurisdiction signed between Libya’s Government of National Accord and Turkey.
Libya’s House of Representatives Annuls Decision to Cut Ties with Turkey
The reversal matters less as a bilateral signal than as a reminder of how fluid Libyan institutional positions remain: the same body that moved to cut ties has now annulled that move and endorsed the maritime memorandum in a single session. The maritime element is the more consequential thread, since it concerns Mediterranean jurisdiction rather than diplomacy alone. Whether this session's decisions hold, and whether other Libyan institutions treat them as binding, is the open question.
