The Australian government is planning to launch multiple flights to repatriate citizens from Israel, an announcement that comes a day after the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said the flights were suspended.

“The situation in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories continues to change rapidly,” Foreign Minister Penny Wong wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Subject to factors including the security environment, the Australian Government is planning multiple flights to depart from Tel Aviv today, for Australians wanting to leave.”
