UK bans Israelis from military academy over Gaza war

The UK's Royal College of Defence Studies has banned Israeli students from enrolling starting next year due to the war in Gaza. Britain's Ministry of Defence confirmed the policy, citing Israel's decision to escalate its military operation as wrong and calling for a diplomatic solution. An Israeli defence official condemned the move as a "dishonourable act of disloyalty" and a "discriminatory act." This action is the latest in a series of diplomatic tensions between the UK and Israel, which also includes banning Israeli officials from a major arms fair.
