You may know by now that the Rosebank oil field is not just a climate disaster waiting to happen. It’s also going to send £200 million to one of Israel’s biggest oil companies, Delek, which operates in illegal settlements in the West Bank and supplies fuel to the Israeli military.
Now, it’s been revealed that Delek has already made $1 billion from North Sea oil and gas through Ithaca Energy. We cannot stand by as North Sea extraction becomes a revenue stream to a company with links to genocide.
Rosebank’s co-owner, Ithaca Energy, is majority-owned by the Delek Group. Delek profits from illegal settlements in the West Bank and its subsidiary Delek Israel supplies fuel to the Israeli military, with military personnel able to refuel at hundreds of its petrol stations. It has been included by the UN in a list of businesses that are connected to human rights concerns in Palestine.
Legal experts are warning that approving Rosebank could put the UK at risk of breaching international humanitarian law. Ithaca now also wants to open Cambo, the oil field we successfully stopped in 2021.
By fuelling the Israeli military and profiting from Israel’s illegal settlements, Delek is contributing to the ongoing violence, dispossession, and genocide faced by Palestinians.
