The US Embassy in Israel and all its branches will be closed until June 20. This is reported on the website of the Diplomatic Representation.
The statement said that all the employees of the embassy and their family members will remain in Israel and must remain permanently near the shelters.
The embassy noted that this decision was made due to the security situation and Israeli-Iranian military operations. In addition, the proposals of the command of the Inner Front of Israeli Defense Forces were taken into account.
The diplomatic mission emphasized that it is impossible to help US citizens leave Israel, as the country's airspace is closed to civil aviation flights. In addition, all Israel's seaports are closed. However, Israel may leave land through land, Egypt and Jordan.
