The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement and partner organizations called on Murphy Oil on Wednesday to give up the six Zone G exploration licenses it holds 50-50 with Israel's Ratio Energies.

The licenses cover about 1,700 square kilometers of seabed near the Leviathan gas field, and Murphy is the operator. Israel awarded Zone G in October 2023 to Eni, Ratio and Dana Petroleum, and Eni withdrew earlier this year, citing a reallocation of investments; campaigners cite a July 2024 International Court of Justice advisory opinion that found Israel's exploitation of natural resources in the occupied territories unlawful. Murphy has not responded publicly to the campaign and announced on the same Wednesday four production-sharing contracts covering about 2.6 million acres offshore Cameroon.
