The Government has advised against “all but essential” travel to Israel and Palestine amid mounting concerns over security in the Middle East.
The Foreign Office has issued the travel warning to Britons as tensions continue to grow between the US and Iran.
It earlier said some UK diplomatic staff and their dependents had been moved from Tel Aviv to another location in Israel.
The move follows talks between the US and Iran over its nuclear programme ended without agreement.
President Donald Trump has previously threatened to take military action against Iran if it does not reach a deal on its nuclear programme and the US has spent the last month amassing a fleet of aircraft and warships in the region.
Iran has in turn threatened to attack Israel, raising the risk that military action could trigger another regional war.
