In March 2017, former Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs Baroness Warsi said people should only be legally allowed to fight for the state they are a citizen of, and British citizens who volunteer for the Israeli army should be prosecuted like others who fight for foreign forces.[1] However, it was reported that Warsi’s demand on IDF volunteers would not gain traction with Israel-supporting Tories, many of whom are members of Conservative Friends of Israel.[2]
