MEDIA ADVISORY

For Immediate Release

Join the COP30 Palestine Coalition in a press conference linking fossil capitalism, militarism, and genocide, affirming that there is no climate justice without Palestinian liberation

For nearly two years, Israel has waged a genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza and across historic Palestine, devastating lives, land, and ecosystems. UN experts have described Israel’s crimes as including domicide, urbicide, scholasticide, medicide, cultural genocide and ecocide. This genocide is inseparable from environmental destruction:

• Over 100,000 tons of bombs dropped, with a carbon footprint greater than the annual emissions of many entire countries.
• Widespread contamination of soil and water with depleted uranium, white phosphorus, and heavy metals.
• 80% of Gaza’s cropland destroyed, creating famine and long-term ecological collapse.

An energy embargo on Israel is essential to safeguard global peace and security, as Israel’s actions pose a growing threat to international stability, particularly for countries across West Asia. Its disregard for international law and unabashed genocidal campaign is a cautionary tale for all countries. Therefore, defunding its military capacities, which requires defueling the energy infrastructure, is essential for the health of democracies across West Asia and the planet. There can be ‘no climate justice under occupation’ and Israel must be held accountable for its war crimes and occupation of Palestinian territories and lives.
