A recent report by Oil Change International details the involvement of various countries and corporations in supplying fossil fuels to Israel since the onset of its military actions in Gaza. The report suggests that these entities could potentially be held accountable for complicity in war crimes and genocide under international law.
Among the key suppliers, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Gabon are identified as the top three countries providing crude oil to Israel. Brazil is also significant, ranking fourth in supplying nearly 10% of Israel’s crude oil, despite President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s vocal opposition to the conflict. The United States contributes JP-8 jet fuel for Israel’s military aircraft, sourced from a Valero refinery in Texas.
The report names major corporations such as BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, TotalEnergies, and Shell as leading contributors to the supply chain that supports Israel’s military operations. In contrast, Colombia is highlighted as a positive example, having suspended its coal exports to Israel in response to the ongoing conflict.
In related developments, the Scottish government has announced that it will cease meetings with Israeli ambassadors until tangible progress is made towards achieving a ceasefire in Gaza.
