Campaign group hits out at Greek shippers over deliveries to Israel

ATENS: A pro-Palestinian campaign group on Monday accused Greek shipping firms of transporting oil and military equipment to Israel that helps its war in Gaza, in some cases breaching a Turkish embargo on trade with Israel.

The “No Harbor for Genocide” group called on Greek authorities to investigate and sanction firms running vessels that “turned off their tracking signals and listed false end-destinations before arriving at Israeli ports” to avoid detection.
The group released a report that said between May 2024 and December 2025 at least 57 “covert crude oil shipments” took about 47 million barrels of oil from Turkiye to Israel “in violation of Turkiye’s trade embargo on Israel, since May 2024.

It said some of the oil was being refined into “fuel for the Israeli air force and fuel for military vehicles and tanks.”
The report named a number of firms involved in “the shipment of both energy products and military cargo to Israel” that made them “a critical enabler of Israel’s genocide and illegal occupation of Palestine, as well as its escalating aggression across the region.”
Israel denies that its actions in the Gaza conflict since the October 7, 2023, attacks amount to genocide.
The Union of Greek Shipowners did not immediately comment on the report.
Greek firms operate one of the world’s largest shipping fleets, and the industry accounts for about 8 percent of Greece’s gross domestic product.
The death toll from the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has reached 72,292, with 172,073 injured, since the start of the assault on Oct. 7, 2023, medical sources in Gaza reported on Sunday.
Since the start of the ceasefire on October 11, 2025, 716 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza, with 1,968 others injured, while 759 bodies were retrieved.
They added that a number of victims remain trapped under rubble and on the streets, with rescue and medical teams still unable to reach them.
