Conflicts of this nature tend to have historic roots, and Turkey and Greece fought a brief but consequential war in 1974.

The agreement envisages the establishment of the EastMed pipeline that, once finalized, is projected to flood Europe with Israeli natural gas, pumped mostly from the Leviathan Basin.
