Response to the ICC’s arrest warrant of Netanyahu

In response to the ICC’s arrest warrant of Benjamin Netanyahu,  Oil Change International US Campaign Manager Allie Rosenbluth, said:

“The ICC warrant against Netanyahu is a critical step toward accountability for war crimes in Gaza. While Netanyahu stands accused of pulling the trigger in Gaza’s genocide, countries and major oil corporations like Chevron, BP, and ExxonMobil are loading the gun. The ICC warrants highlight Netanyahu’s direct responsibility for mass starvation, but we cannot ignore how countries and fossil fuel companies continue supplying the fuel for this genocide despite the ICJ’s clear warnings. These countries and companies aren’t innocent bystanders – they’re active participants behind the barrel choosing profits over Palestinian lives. Ending genocide requires not just holding leaders accountable, but also those who knowingly fuel the violence.”
