A new video by Al Jazeera<\/em> shows how Israel<\/a> has licensed gas drilling in Palestinian territory. This is made possible via its occupation of Gaza.<\/p>\n

In addition, UK company BP received<\/a> drilling approval in an arrangement that has continued in the face of an on going genocide.<\/p>\n

The only reason Israel can grant any licenses is because it colonised 78%<\/a> of Palestine in 1948. And it took over<\/a> Gaza, East Jerusalem, and the West Bank in 1967. Now it appears to want more.<\/p>\n

While the climate crisis<\/a> means we need to use alternative energy sources, Israeli occupying forces are also blocking<\/a> Gaza gas exploration worth billions of dollars.<\/p>\n

As the new licenses show, Israel could be motivated to exploit still more Palestinian resources for profit-based energy companies:<\/p>\n
