Exclusive documents reveal Danish shipping giant A.P. Moller-Maersk’s role in transporting F-35 fighter jet parts to the Zionist entity—fueling atrocities in Gaza amid global condemnation.
Algiers, Algeria | April 19th, 2025 — In a damning revelation that underscores the deepening complicity of multinational corporations in the Zionist entity’s ongoing assault on Gaza, exclusive cargo documents reviewed by Declassified UK and Irish investigative outlet The Ditch confirm that Danish shipping conglomerate A.P. Moller-Maersk is transporting military-grade F-35 fighter jet equipment to the occupying regime.
According to verified cargo data, between April 5 and May 1, 2025, sensitive materials linked to the U.S.-manufactured F-35 program are being shipped from the United States Air Force Plant 4 in Fort Worth, Texas, to the port of Haifa—within territories under Zionist control—aboard two Maersk container ships: Maersk Detroit and Nexoe Maersk. From there, the cargo is expected to be transferred by land to the Nevatim air base, the operational hub for the Zionist entity’s F-35 fleet.
Air Force Plant 4, operated by Lockheed Martin, is the core site for the production of F-35 fighter jets distributed among U.S. allies. The Zionist entity, a leading recipient, has employed these aircraft in repeated aerial assaults on the besieged Gaza Strip, drawing sharp condemnation from the international community and human rights organizations.
Nevatim air base is home to the Zionist regime’s squadrons of F-35s—jets that have been implicated in the systematic bombing of civilian infrastructure and safe zones. In one of the most horrifying incidents, a 2,000-pound bomb was dropped on the designated safe area of Al-Mawasi, killing at least 90 civilians, including children.
A spokesperson from the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), which has led a growing international campaign against Maersk’s involvement, delivered a scathing denunciation:
“These Zionist fighter jets criss-cross Palestine’s skies every day; they are the military foundation for the current Zionist genocide, which has indiscriminately targeted every facet of social life in Gaza—murdering and maiming hundreds of thousands of our people from the air. Maersk’s role in this machinery of death is unforgivable.”
Despite repeated requests, Maersk initially declined to respond. However, following further inquiries, a spokesperson admitted that the Maersk Detroit and Nexoe Maersk were “carrying containers with F-35 parts.” They claimed, however, that the shipments were “destined for other countries participating in the F-35 program” and not directly for the Zionist military.
This attempt to deflect responsibility is contradicted by shipping documents reviewed by Declassified, which clearly show Haifa as a designated unloading point. Maersk’s assertion that it does not track cargo once offloaded—thereby disassociating itself from any use by the Zionist air force—has been met with skepticism and outrage.
The company emphasized that the shipments were “conducted on behalf of suppliers,” not the Zionist Ministry of Defense. However, critics argue that this is a disingenuous attempt to sanitize its complicity in the broader military-industrial network that enables war crimes and mass civilian casualties.
The exposure of Maersk’s role further fuels a growing global demand for accountability. It spotlights how major corporations are not just passive actors in armed conflict but active enablers of systems of oppression, apartheid, and colonial violence—shielded behind contracts, supply chains, and bureaucratic deniability.
As Gaza lies in ruins, devastated by ceaseless airstrikes and strangled by blockade, the Zionist entity’s partners—corporate, political, and military—bear a grave responsibility. F-35 fighter jets, delivered through international supply lines like Maersk’s, have become instruments of collective punishment and devastation.
“If justice is to mean anything,” the PYM spokesperson concluded, “then corporations like Maersk must be held responsible for the blood on their containers. Their silent support of Zionist terror is a betrayal of humanity.”
As public pressure escalates, civil society organizations are urging an immediate end to arms-related shipments to the Zionist regime and a full international inquiry into corporate complicity in crimes against the Palestinian people.
