The Singapore government has sought to clarify with the Israeli government about allegations that Singaporeans served in the Israeli armed forces during the conflict in Gaza, but has not yet received a response. Coordinating Minister for National Security and Minister for Home Affairs K Shanmugam shared this in Parliament on Mar. 5, in response to a question by Workers’ Party Member of Parliament (MP) Dennis Tan. Tan was asking a follow-up question about verifying the claims with Israel, after Shanmugam stated that the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has no substantiated information confirming that any Singaporean has served, or is serving, in the IDF. Shanmugam was also responding to similar questions asked by MPs Fadli Fawzi and Hazlina Abdul Halim. #mothershipparliament #mothershipnews
