State Department Warns Against Travel to Israel, West Bank and Gaza

  • On June 17, 2025, the U.S. Department of State elevated its travel advisory to Level 4—urging Americans to avoid traveling to Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank due to intensified violence and missile attacks.
  • This advisory followed intensified conflict between Israel and Iran, including Israeli airstrikes targeting Iran's nuclear program and Iranian missile retaliations against Israeli cities like Tel Aviv.
  • The U.S. government restricted travel for its employees within proximity of Gaza and Egypt borders, closed major Israeli airports to civilian traffic, and warned that terrorism and sudden violence remain significant risks.
  • At least 224 people have died in Iran and at least 24 in Israel from ongoing strikes, and Ambassador Mike Huckabee confirmed damage to the U.S. Embassy branch in Tel Aviv from Iranian missile shockwaves.
  • The advisory and restrictions have led to evacuations of foreign nationals, suspension of major U.S. airline flights to Israel, and heightened warnings for Americans to avoid crowded areas and remain vigilant amid unpredictable security.
