Israel urges citizens to immediately leave Egypt, Jordan

Israel urged its citizens to immediately leave Egypt and Jordan, the National Security Council said as regional tensions flared over the war in Gaza, Reuters reports.

“Israel’s National Security Council raises its travel warnings for Egypt (including Sinai) and Jordan to level 4 (high threat): recommendation not to travel to these countries and for those staying there to leave… as soon as possible,” it said in a statement.

The notice comes just days after Israel recalled its diplomats from Turkey as a security precaution following an earlier request for its citizens to leave as well.
