    The commission added that British charities with “appropriate purposes can, in law, raise funds to promote the efficiency of the UK armed forces. However, providing aid or military supplies to any foreign armed force is not a charitable purpose, and no charity can legally undertake such activity.”

    The decision is not specific to Israel, although I suppose this sort of thing was more likely to be overlooked before.

      I would think not. This should apply to every military that is not part of the UK armed forces.
