The UK no longer advises against all travel to Israel, the Foreign Office confirmed on Wednesday.
Most of Israel has now been listed as “green” under the departments classification system, meaning that prospective travellers should consult its specific guidance before departure.
Nonetheless, the Foreign Office still advises against all travel to Gaza, all areas within 500m of the Gaza border and the northern West Bank, as well as the Golan Heights. British nationals are also advised to avoid all but essential travel to parts of the central and southern West Bank.
