The British government has issued a directive on Thursday, compelling the families of its diplomats stationed in Israel to depart from the nation as a safety measure. A statement from the

foreign office has clarified that British diplomats will continue their official duties in Israel.

The statement released by the foreign office elucidates, "As a preventive measure, we are temporarily relocating the dependents of our Embassy staff in Tel Aviv and our Consulate staff in Jerusalem. Our Embassy and Consulate will remain fully operational, ensuring the continued provision of consular services to those in need." Photo by I, Aviad2001, Wikimedia commons.
