Court summons sought for British citizen accused of serving in Israeli military

A legal group has applied for a court summons in the United Kingdom to prosecute a British-Israeli dual national accused of serving in the Israeli military. The case is based on the UK's Foreign Enlistment Act, which criminalizes a citizen's service in a foreign military that is at war with a state friendly to Britain. Central to the legal argument is the UK's recent recognition of Palestine, which legally establishes it as a 'friendly state.' The individual allegedly served voluntarily in the Israeli military's Lebanese border unit and the occupied West Bank while Israel was at war with Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon.
