Thousands of western nationals serve in Israel’s army amid Gaza genocide: Report

The Israeli military has released official data revealing that over 50,000 of its serving soldiers hold at least one foreign citizenship alongside their Israeli nationality. The largest groups of these dual-national soldiers come from the United States, Russia, France, and the United Kingdom, with Americans being the single largest category at over 12,000. This information, obtained through a Freedom of Information request, shows a significantly larger scale of foreign national involvement than previously estimated. The participation of these soldiers in military operations in Gaza has led to increased international legal scrutiny and calls for investigations into potential war crimes under universal jurisdiction.
