"Britons on standby as Rafah border crossing may open in Gaza"

British nationals in Gaza have been advised to be prepared in case the Rafah border crossing into Egypt opens, as it is currently the only route out of the territory. The Israeli government has instructed civilians in Gaza's north to move south ahead of a planned ground offensive against Hamas. The UK government is working with Egyptian authorities to arrange for British nationals and their families to leave Gaza via Rafah. The US government has also been collaborating with Egypt, Israel, and Qatar to potentially open the crossing for a limited time. Multiple government-chartered flights have already departed Israel with British nationals, and more are expected in the coming days. King Abdullah of Jordan will meet with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to discuss the conflict and seek international support to stop the war on Gaza.
