Brazil registered zero direct oil exports to Israel in 2025 in victory for boycott campaign

Brazil registered zero direct oil exports to Israel in 2025, a development claimed by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement as a victory resulting from their pressure on the Brazilian government and corporations. The 2026 Statistical Yearbook of the National Petroleum Agency (ANP) confirmed no direct oil exports from Brazil to Israel in 2025. The BDS movement stated, "We welcome the end of direct exports as a concrete step to reduce complicity." However, they acknowledged that oil might still reach Israel through indirect routes. This follows a period of increased tension, including Brazilian President Lula's accusations of genocide against Israel in February 2024, and Brazil's formal backing of South Africa's genocide case against Israel in July 2025.
