UK to Ban Israeli Nationals from Defense School Amid Gaza Tensions

UK will ban Israeli nationals from Royal College of Defence Studies starting next year.
Decision follows intense Gaza conflict in October 2023, causing casualties and international criticism.
Israeli officials view ban as political blow to defense cooperation, risking UK-Israel relations.
Amir Baram, Israel’s Defence Ministry director-general, called the ban a betrayal of an ally.
Ban reflects growing strains in UK-Israel defense ties, including suspended arms licenses.
