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. 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.
