    The United States, France, Canada, Germany and the United Kingdom all have laws against foreign enlistment. However, they allow IDF recruitment through exemptions, treaties or permissive interpretations of the laws

    In response to the ICJ’s July 2024 opinion, 40 independent UN experts advised that states should be taking steps to prevent their dual Israeli citizenship from serving in the IDF to avoid being potentially complicit in war crimes or crimes against humanity

    That’s why i have been all saying palestinian state recognition in those circonstances are meanless and just a smoke screen

      These “permissive interpretations” also mean that if someone is fighting for example for Russia or some mercenary organization, they could justify it based on the right to equal treatment in the face of the law. These are the kind of laws that must have no exemption.

      They should arrest those dual citizens upon arrival in the country and charge them accordingly.
