On Friday, January 26 2024, the International Court of Justice made the historic ruling to take forward South Africa’s case accusing Israel of genocide. Yet Israel’s genocide continues. We watch with horror as bombardment, murder and death is rained down on the people of Gaza.

More than 30,000 have now been killed, the entire Gaza strip reduced to rubble and its population to starvation. Urgent action is required to stop the carnage.


That’s why a coalition of Palestinian organisations are calling for a total, global energy embargo against Israel until it ends the genocide and its regime of Apartheid and ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people.

This call includes the demands of the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions (PGFTU) to “all trade unions and workers associations, and transportation and ports workers…in oil, gas, and metals producing countries” to stop feeding the Israel war machine, and to also cease “export...to countries supporting the Israeli onslaught on Gaza.”

Energy supplies are instrumental to Israel’s war machine: to operate its army tanks, armored personnel carriers, ships and military bulldozers, ​​including specialist jet fuel that allows Israeli jets to rain death and destruction down on Gaza. The demand for an energy embargo is integral to the call from Palestinian trade unions to stop arming Israel which has already elicited an enormous global response.

We call on you - friends, supporters, workers and people of conscience around the world - to move without hesitation to disrupt the energy that fuels Israel’s genocide. We call on you to take action in your workplaces, at ports, outside oil companies and any arena in which energy flowing to Israel can be disrupted.

Now is the time to act and build on the historical mobilisations for Gaza, to end the genocide and liberate Palestine.
