Israeli soldiers travelling to New Zealand have reportedly been asked to provide details of any military service, with at least one member of its military denied entry as a tourist, according to Al Jazeera.

Israeli and local media in New Zealand said visa applicants from Israel are being asked a series of questions about their time in the military, rank, units in which they served and where they served.

Israelis are also being asked if they served in intelligence or a unit subject to accusations of war crimes in Gaza.

At least one Israeli soldier claimed to have been refused a visa based on their answers, according to The Times of Israel.

New Zealand’s immigration authorities denied this to local news outlet Stuff, saying they have not introduced any practices but could not discuss specific cases owing to the country’s privacy laws.
