UK Reportedly Bars Israelis from Royal College of Defence Studies: Reactions Vary
The UK government has announced a ban on Israeli students attending the Royal College of Defence Studies, effective next year. This unprecedented move, the first of its kind since the college’s founding in 1927, is a direct response to Israel’s ongoing military operations in Gaza, which has drawn global condemnation. The decision aligns with other measures, such as the exclusion of Israeli officials from arms exhibitions and the suspension of arms export licenses, reflecting growing international pressure. This action has sparked outrage from Israeli officials, who have criticized it as discriminatory and disloyal.
