US EditionUS Starts Evacuating some Diplomats From Its Embassy in Israel as Iran Conflict Intensifies
- The U.S. Embassy in Israel stated on Wednesday that it is coordinating flights and ship sailings to help American citizens evacuate amid rising tensions in the region.
- This announcement followed intensified hostilities between Israel and Iran, including Israel's missile strike on Iran last Friday and Iran firing around 400 missiles at Israel since then.
- The suspension of flights and halted travel at Israel’s main airport made evacuations challenging, leading organizations such as Birthright Israel to facilitate the transport of approximately 1,500 young adults by bus and boat to Cyprus.
- U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee encouraged Americans to register with the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program, noting that the U.S. Embassy in Israel is coordinating evacuation flights and cruise ship departures.
- These evacuation measures highlight growing concerns for tens of thousands of Americans in the area amid potential retaliatory actions, while the U.S. has expanded its military presence in the Middle East to support possible conflict scenarios.
