The UK recognises the right of British dual nationals to serve in the legitimately recognised armed forces of the country of their other nationality. We do not track the number of dual nationals that choose to take up this right.

The Secretary of State for Defence has not discussed the issue of UK-Israeli dual nationals serving in the Israel Defense Forces with the Secretary of State for the Home Department.
