Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether any dual UK-Israeli nationals have received training from the armed forces in the last five years.

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) does not track whether those receiving training from the UK are dual nationals, as the provision of training is based on the country the training is being provided to.

Fewer than five Israel Defence Forces personnel are currently enrolled in non-combat military academic courses in the UK.

The UK has a long history of providing assistance to other nations in the security and justice fields and continues to do so around the world. The MOD’s provision of such assistance is assessed carefully on a case-by-case basis and kept under review. UK training courses promote British values, including human rights, democracy and compliance with international humanitarian law.
