Crude supplier to Israel (about 9% of imports) despite Lula's genocide rhetoric
Country · Brazil · Country
Brazil talks genocide and ships crude. President Lula da Silva recalled his ambassador in February 2024 after a row over his Gaza comments, yet Middle East Eye, citing Oil Change International, reports that Brazil "quietly became the fourth largest exporter of crude oil to Israel, accounting for nine percent of its imports." Direct shipments halted between January and August 2025, and OCI flags evidence of Brazilian crude still reaching Israel indirectly via a Sardinian refinery. Brazil has not imposed a Colombia-style energy embargo. Charge: words for Palestine, barrels for Israel.
