UK working with Israel to arrange charter flights out of Tel Aviv, Lammy says

LONDON: Britain is working with Israeli authorities to arrange charter flights for British nationals from Tel Aviv when the airport reopens, foreign minister David Lammy said on Friday. 'As part of our efforts to support British nationals in the Middle East, the government is working with the Israeli authorities to provide charter flights from Tel Aviv airport when airspace reopens,' Lammy said in a statement. Israel's main international gateway, Ben Gurion Airport, closed last week due to Israel and Iran's spiralling air war. On Monday, the British government advised its citizens in Israel to register their presence with British authorities, saying it was monitoring the situation and considering options for assistance. It said it had increased its logistical support for citizens who have turned to overland routes into Jordan and Egypt.

First boat carrying 1,500 stranded Israelis docks in Israel: Army

The Israeli military said that the first boat carrying Israelis stranded abroad due to the Iran–Israel war arrived Friday with 1,500 citizens aboard. 'As part of the Ministry of Transportation's Operation 'Safe Return,' a passenger ship bringing Israelis from the Port of Limassol in Cyprus docked today... at the Ashdod Port with over 1,500 Israelis on board,' the military said in a statement. 'The ship was secured (during its journey) by an Israeli Navy missile boat,' the military added. After Israel's airports were closed and outbound flights canceled following Israel's attack on Iran last Friday, an estimated 100,000 to 150,000 Israelis found themselves stranded abroad, according to transport ministry figures. Around 5,000 returned by plane on Wednesday and Thursday, Israeli Transport Minister Miri Regev said on Thursday, adding that double the number of flights were expected on Friday. National carrier El Al said that it would operate 'recovery flights' from Europe, the United States, and Thailand.
