Libya's Foreign Ministry protests Greek bid round for hydrocarbon exploration south of Crete
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Libya's Government of National Unity has expressed deep concern over a report in the European Journal stating that Greek authorities have launched an international bidding round for hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation permits in maritime areas south of Crete—some of which lie within contested zones with Libya. In a statement issued Thursday, the ministry condemned the move as a clear violation of Libya's sovereign rights, stressing its full reservation and outright objection to any exploratory or drilling activities in these areas without prior legal understanding that respects international law. The ministry emphasized that Libya has always sought to make the Mediterranean Basin a space for cooperation, peace, and shared development among all coastal states, warning that unilateral actions will only lead to greater tension and complications. The statement concluded by urging Greek authorities to act responsibly, take into account the deep historical ties between the two nations, and prioritize constructive dialogue and negotiation as the only viable path toward fair and lawful solutions that safeguard the interests of all parties involved.

Mufti: Berlin Conference is a deception by Libya's enemies
Libya's Mufti, Sheikh Al-Sadiq Al-Gharyani, said that the third Berlin Conference, is part of the ongoing deception orchestrated by Libya's enemies. Speaking on Tanasuh TV on Wednesday, the Mufti said the countries meeting in Berlin are Western powers that control Libya's fate. He blamed participants of the Skhirat Agreement for Libya's past and present suffering. "All the evil inflicted on the Libyan people—aggression, plundering of wealth and resources, stripping of freedoms and sovereignty, prisons, arbitrary arrests, and standing with the enemy—as happened recently with the blockade of the convoy aiming to aid our brothers in Palestine—its burden lies with the figures of Skhirat who committed their act and then disowned it." He said. He questioned the outcome of the Berlin meeting, saying: "They will present us with the same production… the same figures will reappear in a new form, just like with Sarraj and the transitional governments." He asserted that 'Western countries know the right solution for Libya, but they deliberately seek to prolong the suffering and occupation.' "There is no enmity between the Americans and Russians, nor among Europeans—all of them are united in exploiting us. We face a Russian invasion brought by Haftar, Aguila Saleh, and the agents of the Zionists. We also face infiltration by regional countries through their intelligence services—all because of Berlin." The Mufti added. The Mufti called on the Libyan people to take to the streets in massive numbers to denounce what he described as a conspiracy. His remarks coincided with the third Berlin Conference, held under UN auspices and involving key international and regional players in the Libyan file, including Egypt, the UAE, the United States, Russia, Germany, France, Italy, and the African Union. The conference is not merely consultative—it is seen as an attempt to impose a new transitional roadmap, following the failure of all domestic Libyan initiatives to reach consensus on a constitutional basis and the continued deadlock in UN-led efforts to organize long-overdue elections.
