“To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, what guidance his Department issues to British nationals that plan to volunteer to assist the Israeli Defence Forces with the conflict in Gaza.
Andrew Mitchell, Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office), responded:
“FCDO travel advice provides British nationals with information on the risks of travelling or living abroad. The FCDO provides advice to British nationals on the risks of travelling to Israel and Occupied Palestinian Territories. This guidance can be found on Gov.uk.
The UK recognises the right of British nationals with additional nationalities to serve in the legitimately recognised armed forces of the country of their other nationalities. The Israel Defence Force is a recognised armed force and British nationals are both able to volunteer into the Israel Defence Force and eligible for national service. For Israel, one does not have to be Israeli to serve in the Israel Defence Force.”

All totally irrelevant he is an Israeli citizen not a British Citizen.

Have you heard of 'Dual Nationality'?
Will you demonise British nationals who enlist to fight for Ukraine?

I already replied and qualified that way back in the conversation.
Quote Hamble
"1. It is only fair as Palestinian students get the same scrutiny.
2. Border Force ask questions to check veracity of claims.
How would a Brit know the if a Palestinian terrorist was posing as a Israeli student?"
