A British judge has ordered the International Centre for Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) to pay a British-Israeli IDF soldier, identified as Soldier A, after the group applied for a court summons to prosecute him for allegedly breaching the UK's Foreign Enlistment Act, according to The Jerusalem Post.
The ICJP, a UK-based pro-Palestinian legal advocacy group, had applied at the end of June for a summons to prosecute Soldier A under the Foreign Enlistment Act (FEA) of 1870, which prohibits British subjects from serving in foreign militaries. The soldier, a British-Israeli dual national who serves in the IDF, was accused of violating the act by enlisting. A British judge has now ruled against the ICJP, ordering the group to pay the soldier. The amount or legal reasoning has not been disclosed. The soldier's identity remains protected under the pseudonym 'Soldier A'. The Jerusalem Post reported on the development.
