From today's Telegraph. Fortunately FI not mentioned.
"Miliband urged to block Israeli-owned company from North Sea drilling"
Campaigners claim profits from UK oil fields will fuel ‘genocide’ in Gaza
Ed Miliband has been urged to block an Israeli-controlled company from drilling two of the largest remaining North Sea oil fields.
Campaigners claim that Ithaca Energy’s profits will fuel “genocide” in Gaza.
Ithaca, already one of the UK’s largest offshore operators, is controlled by Israel’s Delek Group, which has been flagged by the UN for operating in illegally occupied Palestinian territories.
Delek is also understood to provide fuel to the Israeli Defence Force.
Ithaca is seeking a new licence from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero to drill the Rosebank oil field, 60 miles west of Shetland. It has also just been given an 18-month extension to a separate licence for the similarly large Cambo oil field.
Etc.
