THREE AFRICAN STATES OILING ISRAEL’S WAR MACHINE
Three African countries are fuelling Israel’s war machine by sending it millions of tonnes of crude oil. Gabon, Nigeria and Congo-Brazzaville are among the biggest suppliers, according to a new report.
Non-profit OilChange International found the trio accounted for over a third of shipments to Israel over the last nine months. Over half comes from Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, while other suppliers include Italy, Greece and Albania.
More than 40,000 Palestinians have been killed during Tel Aviv’s bombardment of Gaza, which the UN’s top court warns is genocide.
Israel’s military capacity would grind to a halt if a total energy embargo was enforced.
