Britain Apologizes to Israel After IDF Soldier Detained in UK for “War Crimes”
By Abra Forman December 14, 2015
“For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.” (Psalm 91:11)
An IDF reserve officer who fought in 2014’s Operation Protective Edge was briefly detained recently in England on allegations that he was a war criminal.
Thanks to the quick intervention of the Foreign Ministry and the assistance of the IDF’s international law division, the officer was released from British detention after only a few hours, and British authorities apologized to Israel over the incident.
The officer, who came to England on a business trip and was detained upon landing in the country, is one of potentially thousands of IDF soldiers blacklisted by pro-Palestinian organizations. Any Israeli soldier who fought in the war in Gaza and whose name or photo was posted online could be subject to the same treatment.
