Israel and Occupied Territories: British Nationals Abroad

Asked by Alicia KearnsConservativeForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 3 July 2025UIN 61210

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether British nationals will be evacuated from Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer

Support to British nationals remains our top priority and we have worked at pace to ensure those who want to leave Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories can do so, with six flights leaving Israel since 24 June. At this time, no further flights are planned. Commercial flights are now available. This remains a fast-moving and fragile situation, and plans will be kept under constant review.
