Gaza genocide: Why we seek to have a British-Israeli soldier prosecuted

As western leaders jostle and preoccupy themselves with US President Donald Trump’s so-called "peace plan", the media buzz has started looking to "what’s next", rather than reflecting on the 734 days of genocide Palestinians have endured.

Trump’s plan is filled with red flags about eroding Palestinian agency, about neocolonial British-American control over Gaza, and about failing to stop Israel’s continued violations of the ceasefire.

These concerns are all vitally important, but equally important is accountability for the perpetrators of the genocide, from the most senior generals to the most junior foot soldier. 

That is why the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) has applied for a court summons to prosecute a dual national British-Israeli soldier for allegedly enlisting in the Israel army, in violation of Section 4 of the Foreign Enlistment Act 1870.

The individual is believed to have served in an Israeli army unit on the Lebanese border before deployment to the Occupied West Bank.
