Venezuela denies exporting oil to Israel: ‘false claims’ ignite political controversy

Caracas, Venezuela – The Venezuelan government has categorically denied media reports of oil exports to Israel, asserting that these claims are “false” and baseless. It also deemed them part of a disinformation campaign aimed at distorting Caracas’s political stance.

Venezuelan officials affirmed that their country’s foreign policy regarding relations with Israel remains unchanged. They emphasized that the oil sector is subject to strict oversight and that all exports are conducted through official, transparent channels and in accordance with clear agreements.

The statement clarified that reports circulating about oil shipments reaching Israel via intermediaries or third-party companies are unfounded. It also urged media outlets to exercise accuracy and refrain from publishing unsubstantiated information.

This denial comes amidst escalating international debate surrounding global energy trade and shifting oil supply routes resulting from sanctions and geopolitical changes. This has made the issue of oil exports a matter of close scrutiny by markets and international observers.

Analysts believe that Venezuela’s position reflects the political sensitivity of the issue. Especially given that energy trade is linked to complex political and regional calculations that may affect the balances of the international landscape in the coming period.
