Challenge to Tiran, Sanafir verdict delayed to July 30

The Supreme Administrative Court on Sunday set July 30 as a date to consider a lawsuit for the withdrawal of the court's body considering the government's challenge against the Tiran and Sanafir verdict.

Earlier, a lower court ruled that Tiran and Sanafir islands are Egyptian and falls within the country’s borders.

The court issued a ruling suspending the enforcement of a maritime border demarcation agreement signed between Egypt and Saudi Arabia, under which the two islands were moved to Saudi Arabia's sovereignty.

The Egyptian Government challenged the court ruling before the Supreme Administrative Court of the State Council.
