The government has agreed plans to allow around 40 students in Gaza to come to the UK in the coming weeks to take up funded university scholarships.
Nine have been told they will be given assistance to leave Gaza to pursue scholarships under the Chevening scheme, a government-funded initiative for international students to study one-year master's degrees.
The BBC understands the home secretary has also approved plans to help around 30 others who have fully funded scholarships through other private schemes.
They would be the first to leave Gaza to study in the UK since the Hamas-Israel war began in 2023. However, Israel must agree that each student can leave the territory.
Relations with Israel have deteriorated since the UK said it would recognise a Palestinian state in September if Israel did not meet certain conditions related to its war in Gaza.
There will also be considerable logistical challenges evacuating students from a war zone. They will be taken to a third country in the region for visa biometric checks before being brought to the UK.
A Home Office source described the plan as "complex and challenging", but the home secretary had made it "crystal clear" that she wanted the students to take up their places in the UK".
The approvals come a day after the BBC reported that the nine Chevening students had been emailed about their study programmes.
The decision follows months of campaigning by politicians, academics, and others on behalf of more than 80 Palestinian students who hold offers from UK universities this year.
Although around 40 students are covered by the latest decision – there are others without funded places.
Several students have spoken to the BBC in recent days, before the latest development, with some raising fears they might die before they can be evacuated.

The only courses they could pass are “Underwater Lesbian Dance”, and methinks that Muzzies might have troubles with that. In any case, a good judge of university potential is to observe which piles of s**t accept them. Naturally, the Ivy Leagues will compete for them.
How many will be accepted? 600.000?
