More than 50,000 Israeli military personnel hold at least one additional foreign nationality, according to figures published Saturday by daily Yedioth Ahronoth based on official army data. Of those, over 12 thousand hold US citizenship, the largest share by a significant margin, followed by some 6 thousand with French nationality and just over 5,000 with Russian citizenship. This kind of data could cause some legal and jurisdiction issues for some of troops, according to Reserve IDF Lt.-Colonel David Benjamin, an expert in international law.
