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

A legal group has applied for a court summons to prosecute a British-Israeli who allegedly served in the Israeli military, with an initial hearing expected in the coming weeks.

The case is the first such application since Britain recognised the state of Palestine in September, which makes Palestine a "friendly state" in legal terms.

Court documents submitted on Monday by the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP), seen by Middle East Eye, detail alleged violations of the Foreign Enlistment Act (FEA).

According to the act, it is a crime for a UK national to serve in the military of a foreign state at war with a friendly state.

The British-Israeli dual national allegedly served in the Israeli military's Lebanese border unit and in the occupied West Bank.
