The UK government is coordinating with Israeli authorities to launch charter flights from Tel Aviv for British nationals and their dependants once Ben Gurion Airport reopens.

Foreign Minister David Lammy urged citizens to register online and advised them to travel only when contacted.

Logistical support is also being provided to those crossing into Jordan and Egypt, with flights expected to depart in the coming days as demand and security conditions allow.
