UK judge orders ICJ Palestine to pay £82,130 to British-Israeli IDF soldier it tried to prosecute

As covered by The Jerusalem Post at the end of June, the ICJP formally applied for a court summons to prosecute Soldier A for allegedly breaching Britain’s Foreign Enlistment Act (FEA) of 1870.

WESTMINSTER MAGISTRATES’ COURT where judge Paul Goldspring ruled on April 8 that the ICJP’s application was ‘fundamentally misconceived in law,’ as the Foreign Enlistment Act does not apply to dual nationals, and therefore does not apply to Soldier A.
