The last scheduled flight chartered from Tel Aviv by the British
Government for British nationals looking to return home is set to
depart on Sunday afternoon. Demand is falling and the number of
commercial options continues to grow, following the ceasefire
agreed between Israel and Iran.
Five flights have now successfully departed Tel Aviv,
transporting British nationals back to the UK. A further flight
is scheduled for Sunday 29 June, with no additional flights
currently scheduled to take place after this.
Evacuation flights will end if there is no longer sufficient
demand, so British nationals seeking to travel on Sunday's flight
are encouraged to register via the Register Your Presence portal
now, if they have not done so already, to receive further
information.
A FCDO spokesperson said:
The safety and security of British nationals is our top priority.
The Foreign Office is working around the clock to respond to the
crisis and support British nationals affected.
The government has organised multiple flights evacuating British
nationals and their dependants from Tel Aviv, prioritising the
most vulnerable. These flights will end if there is not
sufficient demand.
We will keep the situation under review.
Given the low demand observed for government-provided transport
for British nationals crossing land borders from Israel into
Jordan and Egypt, the UK is no longer providing these onward
transport options from the border crossings.
Plans will be kept under constant review, depending on demand and
the security situation.
