UK gov't removes Israel from 'no travel list' for first time since June 2025 Iran war

However, the advisory against travel to Gaza and certain areas near the Gaza border and in the West Bank remains in place. This change reflects a shift in the UK's stance on travel to Israel amidst ongoing regional tensions.
- ▪The FCDO no longer advises against all travel to Israel.
- ▪Travel to Gaza and areas within 500m of the Gaza border is still advised against.
- ▪Parts of the West Bank and northern Israel also remain under travel advisories.
