Countries fueling Israel’s Gaza war may be complicit in war crimes, experts warn

Four tankers of American jet fuel have been shipped to Israel since the start of its aerial bombardment of Gaza in October .

Three shipments departed from Texas after the landmark international court of justice ( ICJ ) ruling on 26 January ordered Israel to prevent genocidal acts in Gaza .

The ruling reminded states that under the genocide convention they have a “common interest to ensure the prevention, suppression and punishment of genocide”.

Lula withdrew Brazil ’s ambassador to Israel , but has not issued a ban on oil exports.

Azerbaijan , the largest supplier of crude to Israel since October , will host the 29th UN climate summit in November , followed by Brazil in 2025 .

A spokesperson for the Israeli ministry of foreign affairs said the charges of genocide brought by South Africa are “false, outrageous and morally repugnant”.

Six major fossil-fuel companies could be linked to 35% of crude oil supplied to Israel since October .

Oil companies BP, Chevron , Eni , ExxonMobil , Shell and TotalEnergies linked to oil supplies.

Oil Change International : “Every day that oil companies provide fuel to Israel these companies expose themselves to potential legal action for their complicity in genocidal acts against civilians in Gaza .”.
