#GreenParty leader #ZackPolanski and #YourParty leader #JeremyCorbyn have joined calls for the #British government to investigate British citizens who have served in the #Israeli military.

Polanski signed an open letter organised by Declassified UK and the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) to Home Secretary #ShabanaMahmood and Foreign Secretary #YvetteCooper urging them to "track the movements of Brits who have served in the IDF" and "subject them to secondary screening where necessary at ports of entry".

The letter called for "robust war crimes investigations in line with domestic and international law".
