Energy has been a key instrument in ‘Israel’s normalisation campaign and the apartheid regime’s practises of settler occupation, containment and genocide.
For decades, and since the most recent Nakba began last year, energy infrastructure in Gaza and the West Bank has been a target of military violence from the IOF (‘IDF’). Without reliable energy, key infrastructures including electric networks to power homes, schools, and hospitals are vulnerable to power outages: a core tactic for Israel’s strategic de-development of the Palestinian economy and way of life.
For decades, and since the most recent Nakba began last year, Palestinian resources including gas, have been appropriated by Israeli and imperial energy companies. The effect of this has been the creation of both economic ties and energy dependencies between Israel and other states, strengthening Israel’s geopolitical leverage.
