The House of Representatives-designated government has declared its rejection of the actions taken by the Greek government regarding an international call for oil and gas exploration south of the island of Crete. The government, headed by Osama Hammad, affirmed that part of the targeted areas lies within a maritime zone that remains under an unresolved legal dispute with the State of Libya. Hammad's government called on Greece to immediately halt these actions and refrain from taking any unilateral steps, stressing the need for dialogue with Libya to reach fair solutions that safeguard sovereign rights. On Thursday, the Foreign Ministry of the Government of National Unity also expressed deep concern over the Greek authorities' announcement of bids for oil and gas exploration in maritime areas disputed with Libya.
