UK Group that Targeted IDF Reservist Ordered to Pay Costs after Court Defeat
(UK Lawyers for Israel) The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) has been ordered to pay costs after defeat in court in its attempt to bring a prosecution against a dual British-Israeli citizen who returned to his IDF reserve unit following the Hamas atrocities of Oct. 7, 2023. Senior District Judge Paul Goldspring, Chief Magistrate of Westminster Magistrates' Court, rejected the application in its entirety, finding that it was fundamentally misconceived in law, unsupported by evidence, and tainted by serious disclosure failures. Judge Goldspring stated that the courts "must not be used as a vehicle for political debate."
