State Judiciary Authority requests Supreme Constitutional Court to settle contradictory verdicts Tiran and Sanafir

The State Lawsuits Authority has requested the Supreme Constitutional Court settle the contradictory rulings issued on the potential handover of Tiran and Sanafir islands to Saudi Arabia, Al Shorouk reports. At issue is a ruling by the Cairo Court for Urgent Matters challenging a previous verdict from the Supreme Administrative Court to block the transfer of the islands. As we had previously noted, the Urgent Matters Court lacks the jurisdiction to overturn a ruling by the Supreme Administrative Court.
