Don't miss... Keir Starmer breaks silence on Iran strikes as Reform UK praises Trump decision [LATEST]
“That's not possible at the minute from Israel, because their air space, of course, is closed.”
Asked if the flights would begin “today, tomorrow or imminently”, he said: “I believe our intention would be to do that as soon as possible next week.
“Yes, hours, not days.”

He added that emergency evacuations could be carried out overland.
Mr Reynolds said: “As well as that, if people are able to travel across land, we have rapid response teams on the Jordanian and the Egyptian borders, if people are traveling across land to countries where they could feasibly fly out on commercial aircraft.

“There have been extensive preparations both in the region, and within the government, numerous Cobra meetings I've been involved in, some of those because of how dangerous the situation is.
“But I want people to have some reassurance that we've been preparing for all of these eventualities, though I know it will be just concerning this morning.”
Sir Keir Starmer said the UK had taken “all necessary measures” to protect British personnel in the region.
Asked whether the UK could be required to intervene under Nato rules if Iran attacked US bases in the region, the Prime Minister said: “I’m not going to speculate about what may happen, because all of my focus is on de-escalation.
“But I do want to reassure the public we have taken all necessary measures to protect UK interests, UK personnel and to work with our allies to protect their interests as well.
“That’s what you’d expect, but my focus is on de-escalating this situation. Dealing with the threat that is that nuclear programme, but getting the parties around the table to negotiate an outcome to this.”
The Foreign Office has asked British nationals in Israel to register their interest in a Government-organised flight out of the country early next week.

A spokesperson said: “This is a perilous and volatile moment for the Middle East.
“The safety of British Nationals in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories continues to be our utmost priority – that’s why the UK Government is preparing flights to help those wanting to leave.
“Working closely with the Israeli authorities, our staff are continuing to work at pace to assist British Nationals on the ground and ensure they receive the support they need.”
