The bill notes that an estimated 10,000 U.S. persons were activated for the war in Gaza. If enacted, it could lead to investigations and potential criminal prosecution of any U.S. citizens who served in the IDF and were involved in the January 2024 attack, under the War Crimes Act. This would create legal exposure for a small number of dual-citizen military personnel.
“According to information from Government of Israel, an estimated 10,000 people from the United States were activated for the war in Gaza.”
