No data on Manx links to Israeli Military, says Cabinet Office

The Cabinet Office says it doesn't know how many Island residents may have served in Israel's military, after a Freedom of Information request.

Those behind the request asked how many Manx residents had served in the Israeli Defence Force and how many IDF visitors we have.

They pointed out a number of Israeli military personnel have been arrested around the world, and asked about how the Isle of Man can prosecute those suspected of war crimes.

In its response, the Cabinet Office said although it didn't hold the information, Customs and Excise might have some of the data requested.
