JERUSALEM, February 27 (Xinhua) — The U.S. State Department on Friday authorized non-emergency American employees of the Embassy in Israel, as well as their family members, to leave the country due to security risks. The U.S. Embassy in Israel announced this on Friday.
The statement said the individuals in question should consider leaving while commercial flights are still operating.
It is also noted that the diplomatic mission may, without prior notice, further restrict or completely prohibit travel by American government employees and their family members to certain areas of Israel, the Old City of Jerusalem, and the West Bank in response to security incidents.
According to American media, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee sent an email to embassy staff on Friday morning urging those who want to leave to do so "today." "Focus on getting a ticket to somewhere from which you can then continue your trip to Washington, but the first priority is leaving the country as soon as possible," he noted.
