The ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine has been linked to the potential influence of fossil fuels, with some advocates suggesting that the billions of barrels of oil in Palestine could be a driving factor behind the violence. This situation is deeply rooted in historical contexts, including the role of colonialism and the discovery of oil in the Middle East. The conflict has significant environmental implications and is obstructing the aspirations of Palestinian environmental activists for clean energy and land preservation. It is crucial to address the global demand for oil and gas and the interests that prioritize profit over human lives. Therefore, it is requested to consider the role of fossil fuels in this conflict and take steps to prioritize people and the environment over profit.
