Greek FM snubs Libya counterpart in spat over Turkey deal
Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias snubbed his Libyan counterpart on Thursday, abandoning a planned visit to Tripoli to avoid being welcomed by the top diplomat of a government allied with arch rival Turkey. Athens blamed the incident on Tripoli, where Dendias had been scheduled to meet the head of Libya's Presidential Council, Mohamed el-Manfi, without meeting members of the executive, according to the Greek foreign ministry. But "in a surprising and insulting move, the Greek minister refused to disembark from his plane and left without any clarifications," it added. Shortly afterwards, it recalled its ambassador from Athens and summoned his Greek counterpart in Tripoli, government spokesman Mohamad Hamouda told Al-Ahrar, a satellite news channel. As a result I interrupted the visit in Tripoli and we flew to Benghazi, where the schedule was followed," the Greek minister said in the eastern city of Benghazi.

Greece's top diplomat calls off Tripoli visit on touchdown
BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) — Greece's foreign minister called off the first leg of a visit to Libya on Thursday, refusing to disembark from his plane after landing in the capital of Tripoli, Greek authorities said. The Greek foreign ministry described the fracas — effectively a snub of Libya's western, Tripoli-based administration — as the result of a violation of protocol and agreed-on terms for the visit. Tensions have been rising in the Mediterranean following a controversial preliminary maritime and gas deal between Turkey and the Tripoli administration. During a Cairo visit last month, Dendias said the deal infringes on Greek maritime borders. In 2019, Turkey signed another controversial maritime border deal with Tripoli, granting it access to a contested economic zone in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.

Analysis-Libya's festering crisis risks slide back to war
As its political stalemate festers, Libya risks sliding back towards civil war with diplomacy at a standstill, politicians thwarting progress towards elections and military leaders including eastern commander Khalifa Haftar threatening violence. "The crisis is mainly getting prolonged because those in power seek their own interests, not those of Libyans," said Adel al-Sheikh, 39, a Tripoli shop owner. The prospect of more conflict would not only create misery for ordinary Libyans: the stakes are also high for an inattentive world. National elections could sweep away most of the squabbling political forces that have dominated Libya through years of institutional division, outright warfare and unstable peace. He turned back and groups aligned with him were pushed out of Tripoli, leaving Dbeibah more firmly ensconced there.
