Middle East Eye reported that two oil traders have emerged as major crude suppliers to Israel during its military operations in Gaza. Vitol and Heritage Petroleum FZCO, described as secretive firms, rank among the country's top providers of crude oil, according to the outlet's investigation.
The two companies operate across multiple jurisdictions, with Heritage Petroleum based in the UAE and Vitol maintaining operations in Switzerland. Their prominence as suppliers underscores the role of international trading networks in sustaining Israel's fuel imports amid the conflict. The extent of their operations and the specific volumes they have supplied remain central to ongoing scrutiny of trade relationships.
