Israel calls oil spill an act of âenvironmental terrorismâ by Iran By Yaacov Benmeleh on 3/3/2021
Minister of Environmental Protection Gila Gamliel
(Bloomberg) An Israeli minister accused Iran of being behind one of the worst oil spills ever in Israeli waters, calling it an act of âenvironmental terrorism.â
A Libyan ship that sailed from Iran dumped oil into the sea in early February, Minister of Environmental Protection Gila Gamliel told reporters on Wednesday. The ship turned off its tracking system to avoid detection while entering Israeli waters, and turned it back on once in Syria a few days after the spill, she said.
