Government arranges flights to get British nationals out of Israel

The Government has organised flights to help British nationals leave Israel.

The Foreign Office announced that the first flight is expected to leave Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport later on Thursday.

A Foreign Office spokesperson said they would facilitate commercial flights to the UK to help British nationals wanting to leave, with vulnerable people prioritised.

The Foreign Office will contact those eligible for the flights directly and British nationals should not make their way to the airport unless they are called.
