Aaron Barwell, 48, has said the British government is “dithering” in assisting UK citizens trying to escape the conflict.
An English tourist who was holidaying in Israel when Hamas attacked the country said the British government is “dithering” in assisting UK citizens trying to escape the conflict.
Mr Barwell, who lives near Newcastle, claimed the British government has “been more concerned with political posturing than the actual safety of their citizens”.Wizz Air and Virgin Atlantic have cancelled flights to and from Tel Aviv as a result of the ongoing conflict, while British Airways has also made changes to its flight schedule.A freelancer working in IT, Mr Barwell said he was travelling to Jordan from Israel when Hamas attacked and he was forced to return to Jerusalem.
He said: “I couldn’t get a flight to the UK…I’ve got a ticket just to Cyprus just to get out of the country because everything seems to be sold out or cancelled.” He said: “The official advice on the British Embassy website is just to follow basically what the Israeli authorities said."The only thing I’ve seen, and I’ve only seen it online, is that they’re assessing the situation which they’ve been doing for days when other countries are actually doing something.”
