Egypt top court suspends all rulings on islands transfer
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEgypt’s top court suspends all previous rulings on whether Cairo can transfer two Red Sea islands to Saudi Arabia, as it considers who has legal jurisdiction.
In the latest twist in a long legal saga, a spokesman for the Constitutional Court says its chief judge has “issued a temporary order to halt the implementation of all rulings that were issued over the Tiran and Sanafir accord.”
The spokesman, Ragab Selim, tells AFP the suspension would last until the court could determine which of the legal rulings in the case “will be implemented and which was issued by the institution with jurisdiction.”
