PM warned Rosebank oil field could breach West Bank sanctions
The UK government faces pressure regarding the Rosebank oil field project due to its ties with the Israeli firm Delek Group. Campaigners and the Green Party have warned Prime Minister Andy Burnham that approving the project could violate recently imposed sanctions on entities linked to illegal West Bank settlements. Delek Group, which holds a significant stake in the project through Ithaca Energy, was previously listed in a UN database regarding settlement support. While the company denies current involvement, critics argue the project serves as a critical test for the government's new sanctions regime.
