US Embassy in Jerusalem issues stark warning to Americans attempting to flee as Iran conflict escalates

https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/us-embassy-jerusalem-american-citizens-shuttle-b2930758.html

The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem is advising Americans in Israel that they can leave the country via taxi or shuttle, but if they do so, their safety cannot be guaranteed.

Current government advice is for U.S. citizens to shelter in place and make their own security arrangements, with flights cancelled across the board as Israel enters a fourth day of war with Iran.

The Israeli Ministry of Tourism has begun operating shuttles to the Taba Border Crossing with Egypt as of Monday, the embassy said in a statement, with registrations available via an evacuation form.

“The U.S. Embassy cannot make any recommendation (for or against) the Ministry of Tourism’s shuttle,” read the statement, which was posted on the embassy’s website and shared on X on Tuesday morning.
