UK to Restrict Israeli Nationals from Enrolling in Defense Academy Starting Next Year
The UK government will implement a ban on all Israeli applicants to the Royal College of Defence Studies starting next year as part of broader sanctions responding to Israel's military actions in Gaza.
- Beginning next year, the UK will prohibit Israeli nationals from enrolling at the Royal College of Defence Studies, a restriction not seen since the institution's establishment in 1927.
- This decision was made against the backdrop of the intense conflict in Gaza that began in October 2023, resulting in significant casualties and drawing widespread international criticism of Israel.
- Israeli officials framed the ban as a political blow to bilateral defense cooperation and warned it may affect broader UK-Israel strategic relations amid tensions over Gaza and Palestinian state recognition.
- Amir Baram, Israel’s Defence Ministry director-general, denounced the move as a deeply shameful, discriminatory betrayal of an ally at war, emphasizing Israel’s role in international security and hostage recovery.
