UK, France, Germany and others warn citizens against travel to Israel & Iran

Several nations have issued travel warnings for Israel and Iran to their citizens in recent hours, amid concerns that a war between the Iranian regime and the U.S. and Israel could be imminent.

The UK advised its citizens against non-essential travel to Israel, while moving some of its embassy staff from Tel Aviv to “another location” in Israel. Earlier, the UK said it evacuated its embassy staff from Iran, citing the current “security situation.”

France also called on its citizens to avoid traveling to Israel, while Germany “urgently” called on its citizens not to travel to Israel.

Poland called on its citizens to leave Iran, Israel, and Lebanon immediately, while Italy advised its citizens in Israel to remain vigilant and called on Italians to leave Iran and avoid traveling to Iraq and Lebanon. In addition, Turkey cancelled all flights to Iran on Friday.
