Yaji explained, during an interview with Al-Jazeera Mubasher channel, that this agreement granted Libya 39 thousand kilometers of water, in addition to 4 Greek islands, adding that if Libya had signed the agreement with Greece, it would not have obtained this large water distance, pointing to That Greece wants to plunder the water areas of Libya, Egypt and the Arab countries.
