The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 11 June 2025 to Question 56822 on Israel: Military Aid, how many Israel Defense Forces personnel have been trained by the UK armed forces in the last 12 months.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The UK has a long history of providing assistance to other nations in the security and justice fields and continues to do so around the world.

Fewer than ten IDF personnel have been trained in non-combat military courses in the UK in the last 12 months.

These are strictly academic, longstanding courses which are open to many countries around the world.

Personnel from almost 50 different countries around the world will attend non-combat military courses in the UK in 2025.
