The UK has a long history of providing protection through various resettlement routes to supporting the most vulnerable people in the world.

We keep all existing pathways under review and we are closely monitoring the events in Gaza,

Palestinians who wish to settle in the UK can do so via the existing routes available which allow a person to apply to work, study, settle or join family in the UK. Further information can be found on the GOV.UK website: Visas and immigration - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
