Guess who did know… Did you guess Obama? Did you guess Biden?
“The plan, apparently backed by the Biden administration and involving US oil giant Chevron would in effect seal Palestinian energy dependence on Israel.
The US approach is consistent with a strategic framework described in a December 2014 report published under the Obama administration by the US Army War College’s Strategic Studies Institute.”

…#oil spills into the #sea have the potential to have significant impacts for #MarineLife, & have been responsible for the some of the worst #environmental disasters in the #UK.
The SS Torrey Canyon ran aground in Cornwall in 1967 which led to >100k tons of crude oil being spilt into the English Channel, killing thousands of sea birds.
The size of the spill, weather & sea conditions, & the type of oil being carried play a big role in the outcomes for #wildlife.
The #UK #Coastguard says it is assessing the "likely" counter-#pollution response required following the #NorthSea collision.
"The incident remains ongoing & an assessment of the likely counter pollution response required is being enacted," a UK Coastguard spokesperson says, as the incident off the east coast of #England continues.
In a statement, the Florida based company said: “A fire occurred as a result of the allision, & #fuel was reported released. The #StenaImmaculate crew abandoned the vessel following multiple explosions onboard. All Crowley mariners are safe & fully accounted for.”
The #JetFuel was owned by the #US govt. That’s consistent w/the vessel being part of a US govt program designed to supply the armed forces w/fuel during times of armed conflict or national emergency.
#US logistics firm Crowley, which is the operator & joint owner of the MV #StenaImmaculate, says the vessel was carrying #jet #fuel when it was hit by the #Solong in the #NorthSea at approximately 10:00 GMT.
All of its crew of >20 are now safe & accounted for - but there are fears that jet fuel is now pouring into the #sea.
The #US-flagged #StenaImmaculate appears to have been hit while at anchor by the Portuguese-flagged container #Solong, according to tracking data analysed by BBC Verify
The Stena Immaculate is one of just 10 vessels the #USmilitary uses to carry its #fuel during conflicts or emergencies; there's no indication of how it was being used at the time of the crash

North Sea tanker: Jet fuel spills into North Sea after tanker collision, as 32 people brought ashore
The crew of the oil tanker abandoned ship after multiple explosions - all are reported safe. The condition of those on the cargo ship is unclear.BBC News
Information from Marine Traffic, a website that tracks vessels, appeared to show the Stena Immaculate, a #US flagged #OilTanker, & the Solong, a container ship sailing under the Portuguese flag, on an intersecting route surrounded by emergency response vessels just off the coast of the mouth of the River #Humber, near #Hull.
Rescue helicopters were in the area, & lifeboats were deployed from a number of stations along the coast, as well as vessels w/ “firefighting capability,” the coast guard said in a statement.
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution, a charity that coordinates lifeboats around the British coast, said there were reports “that a number of people had abandoned the vessels following a collision & there were fires on both ships.”
An #OilTanker & a container ship collided off the NE coast of #England, acc/to emergency responders, who scrambled to the scene on Monday morning. Initial images shared by the BBC showed fire & thick black smoke rising from the ships.
The British #CoastGuard said it was “coordinating the emergency response to reports of a collision between a tanker & cargo vessel off the coast of #EastYorkshire,” & that an alarm was first raised at 9:48AM local time.
