More Australians evacuated from Tel Aviv have arrived back home, as the federal government looks to secure safe passage for those still stranded due to the Middle East conflict.
A Qatar Airways flight from Dubai carrying more than 200 people, including Australians and dual nationals, landed in Sydney on Tuesday evening. Some of them were collected from Israel on government flights on Monday while others departed Tel Aviv on the weekend. A Qantas flight is due to depart London on Tuesday night, Australian time, and land in Sydney on Wednesday night, carrying another 200 people.
"That is one way Australia is helping not only our own citizens but others as well." The head of ASIO Mike Burgess said the intelligence organisation warned of possible spontaneous violence following the Middle East conflict. In a press conference alongside FBI director Christopher Wray in the US, Burgess urged political leaders to advocate restraint.
