In October 2023, amidst Israel’s horrific genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, a consortium that included Dana Petroleum, won the awards for six oil and gas exploration licenses from the Israeli Government. 62% of the area covered by these licenses lie within Palestinian waters. Dana Petroleum, headquartered in Aberdeen (Scotland), is wholly owned by the Korean National Oil Corporation, and also has bases in the Hague, Cairo and London. This contract with the Israeli government means that Dana Petroleum and the Korean National Oil Corporation are helping to fuel Israeli genocide, occupation and apartheid and Israel’s grave violations of Palestinian human rights.
