That this House condemns Israel’s actions in Gaza, which have brought about mass civilian casualties, the destruction of most non-military infrastructure, the displacement of 1.9 million people and a man-made humanitarian crisis now classified as a famine; acknowledges that, as part of its obligations under the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, the Government has a duty to take action that prevents its own citizens from perpetrating war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide; regrets that the Government does not record the number of British-Israeli dual nationals currently enlisted in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), monitor their involvement in IDF operations in Gaza, or inform them of the risk of their committing breaches of international law while serving in the IDF; notes that this oversight has already rendered the UK liable to complicity in atrocity crimes committed by the IDF, with the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights and the Public Interest Law Centre providing evidence that ten British-Israeli dual nationals committed grave crimes in Gaza between October 2023 and May 2024; and urges the Government to deter British dual nationals from participating within institutions actively committing human rights violations, including issuing consular advice warning that they will be investigated by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) for enlisting in an armed force under reasonable suspicion of actively committing atrocity crimes and genocide, and revoking their citizenship under the British Nationality Act 1981 if the CPS deems them guilty of having engaged in unlawful activity.
