GREENPEACE filed a legal complaint against Norwegian state oil giant Equinor today over its links to an Israeli company involved in human rights violations in Palestine.

Equinor and Ithaca Energy are co-owners of the undeveloped Rosebank oil field in the North Sea, off the Scottish coast, which will see over £250 million flow towards Delek Group.

The Israeli fuel giant, which is Ithaca’s majority shareholder, has been listed by the United Nations as a human rights violator for operating in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories.
