đ„ BREAKING: đ»đȘđźđ± Venezuela Sends Oil to Israel for the First Time in Years Following Maduroâs Ouster
Venezuela has dispatched its **first crude oil shipment to Israel in years**, marking a major shift in global oil flows after its oil exports reopened following the capture and removal of President NicolĂĄsâŻMaduro from power. This cargo is being delivered to Israelâs largest refinery, Bazan Group Ltd., underscoring a significant change in energy and diplomatic ties. îš0îš
According to Bloomberg and industry sources, the tanker of Venezuelan crude bound for Israel is the **first delivery since midâ2020**, when about 470,000 barrels were shipped. The resumption comes amid sweeping changes to Venezuelaâs oil sector after U.S. forces captured Maduro in January and the Trump administration assumed control of Venezuelaâs oil sales, opening up exports to new buyers such as India, Spain, the U.S. â and now Israel. îš1îš
Venezuela historically sold most of its oil to China and other traditional partners during years of sanctions and embargoes. The renewed shipment to Israel highlights a **dramatic reorientation of Venezuelan energy policy and export flows**, reflecting broader geopolitical shifts after the U.S.âbacked transition in Caracas and easing of previous trade restrictions. îš2îš
This development could impact **global crude pricing and trade patterns**, as Venezuelan volumes are reabsorbed into international markets. Traders should monitor **Brent & WTI futures, Middle East geopolitical risk premiums, and refining margins** as Venezuelan oil diversifies buyers and alters supply dynamics.
