Join us online on Tuesday, 4 November at 8:30 - 10pm Palestine time for a webinar exploring corporate complicity in the energy sector, its role in powering Israel’s ongoing apartheid, occupation and genocide against Indigenous Palestinians, and how we organise against it.

Speakers from Law for Palestine (L4P), Trade Unions for Energy Democracy (TUED), the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), Centre for Research on Multinational Corporations (SOMO), and Global Energy Embargo for Palestine (GEEP) will take us through the energy-crime nexus, a case study on Vitol's role in supplying energy to Israel, a legal briefing on energy companies' exposure, and practical organising that links anti-occupation campaigning to climate and labour struggles.

With Anisha Patel (L4P), Lala Peñaranda (TUED), Sara Elettra (BNC), Lydia de Leeuw (SOMO), and Ana Sanchez (GEEP).

The webinar includes time for questions from participants. Translation from/to Spanish will be available.

1/8 🚨 In an important step towards complying with its obligations under int'l law, #Luxembourg has not renewed its authorisation for Israel Bonds, following the expiry of the prospectus at the beginning of this month. This comes one year after @Law4Palestine published a legal opinion warning that Luxembourg’s approval of Israel Bonds carried a high risk of violating its obligations under international law. 🧵

8/8 We also urge #Luxembourg, #Ireland and other #European States to take further steps to ensure that their policies and economic relations are fully aligned with their int'l legal obligations -including in relation to trade in goods and services, tourism, banking and investment, pension funds, public procurement, technology and corporate supply chains.

7/8 As Luxembourg has decided not to renew its authorisation for Israeli bonds, responsibility for their approval could now revert to #Ireland, previously designated as the EU “home” State for this purpose. Since 1 September, there has been no approval or renewal of #Israeli Bonds in Ireland or elsewhere in the #EU. However, Ireland has not stated that it will not consider renewal. We therefore remind Ireland of its obligations in this regard.
