Groups call for protests over countries' role in supplying Israel with nearly 30 percent of its oil

The pipeline transports Azerbaijani crude oil to the Turkish port of Ceyhan, supplying Israel with 28 percent of its oil imports at a time when Israel is waging war on Gaza and Lebanon.

The pipeline is majority owned by BP, with Azerbaijan’s state-owned oil company Socar the second-largest shareholder.

“We reached out to our data sources and they are seeing shipments that are registered as having come from the BTC [ Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan] terminus, which is Ceyhan, and arrived in Ashkelon in September and October and November.”
