A pro-Palestinian movement has accused several Greek shipping companies of facilitating the transport of energy products and military shipments to Israel during the war on Gaza, according to findings presented at a press conference.

The investigation, released by the “No Port for Genocide” movement, alleges that vessels owned or managed by Greek firms played a systematic role in supplying vital resources, which the group says contributes to Israel genocide in Gaza.

According to the report, based on satellite tracking and commercial data, at least 57 shipments of crude oil — totalling around 47 million barrels — were transported from Turkey to Israeli ports between May 2024 and December 2025, despite Turkey’s declared trade embargo on Israel.

The investigation further claims that ships involved in these operations disabled GPS tracking systems and listed false destinations before arriving at Israeli ports, in an apparent effort to conceal their routes.

Representatives of the movement called on Greek authorities to open a formal investigation and hold accountable companies involved in illegal transfers of energy and commercial goods.

The Greek Shipowners’ Association declined to comment when contacted regarding the allegations.
