Keir Starmer has urged British nationals in Israel to register their presence on a newly set-up website in order to assist with efforts to help them leave the country.

He said the UK and other G7 countries were issuing advice to their citizens in Israel.
“All of us are giving advice to our citizens for British nationals in Israel, we’re giving advice today to register their presence, so there will be a portal for that.
“So I think all countries also taking the necessary measures on a protected basis.”
Finchley and Golders Green MP Sarah Sackman also reached out to local constituents who have relatives stranded in Israel offering assistance with their attempts to return home to the UK.
Government minister Sackman told British nationals who were constituents in Israel she was doing everything she could to help “at this deeply distressing time for our community in Finchley and Golders Green.
She added:”If you or a loved one is currently stranded in Israel, please reach out to my office” before leaving her email sarah.sackman.mp@parliament.uk.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
