Summary/Abstract: This article analyses the reasons for the dispute between Turkey and Israel within the scope of East Mediterranean energy sources. The study argues that the struggle started in the region due to natural gas and oil reserves, and sharing of sea authority areas in East Mediterranean. It is stressed that the Exclusive Economic Zone Agreement (MEB) drawing borders in the East Mediterranean signed by Cyprus, Egypt, Lebanon and Israel is controversial with the international law. The article supports that maritime jurisdiction between states should be shared justly and with regard to international law.
