Published: 6/20/2025

The UK plans to arrange charter flights from Israel once its airspace re-opens due to the ongoing conflict with Iran. David Lammy, the foreign secretary, confirmed the government's assistance in providing these flights to British nationals in Israel. Lammy also arrived in Geneva for talks on Iran's nuclear program, aiming to negotiate a diplomatic solution within the next two weeks. Additionally, other countries such as Australia, China, India, Japan, and Pakistan are also conducting evacuation operations for their citizens in Iran and Israel.
