Significant number of British-Israelis caught up in Hamas attack, says Cleverly

The Foreign Secretary said the UK Government is ‘standing ready’ to support British citizens looking to leave Israel.

A “significant number” of British-Israeli dual nationals have been caught up in the conflict in Israel and Gaza, the Foreign Secretary has said.

Ministers are “working with” the aviation industry to ensure commercial flights remain available to Britons looking to leave Israel, he added. Since the weekend’s atrocities, Israel has sealed the Gaza Strip off from food, fuel, medicine and other supplies, while launching retaliatory air strikes on the Hamas-ruled territory, which is home to 2.3 million people.

The Foreign Secretary said he would encourage Palestine supporters to “pause” before joining further protests. Mr Cleverly echoed the Prime Minister’s stance, saying it is “inappropriate” to attempt to compare the acts of Israel’s military to the incursion by Hamas.
