	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2024 answer text <p>The UK recognises the right of British nationals with more than one nationality to serve in the legitimately recognised armed forces of their additional nationalities. This includes the Israel Defence Force.</p><p>With respect to the current conflict in Gaza, Section 4 of the Foreign Enlistment Act 1870 makes it an offence for a British subject to enlist in the military of a foreign state at war with another foreign state with which the UK is at peace. That prohibition does not extend, however, to enlistment in a foreign government's forces which are engaged in a civil war or combating terrorism or internal uprisings. The Occupied Palestinian Territories are not currently recognised as a state by the UK. The 1870 Act therefore does not apply in this instance.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 12/04/2024 09:41:39 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
