Egypt’s Administrative Court will examine on Saturday an appeal filed by the State Lawsuits Authority against a recent court ruling about the invalidity of the Tiran and Sanafir islands agreement.

In the appeal, the authority called for annulling the verdict.

In April, the Egyptian government signed a deal with Saudi Arabia to hand over two Red Sea islands; Tiran and Sanafir, to Saudi sovereignty, part of a wider agreement on border demarcation.
