Newsman: The State Department is authorizing the “voluntary departure of family members and some non-emergency U.S. government employees” from Israel amid the country’s escalating conflict with Iran, officials said on Sunday.
The U.S. embassy’s shelter-in-place order for U.S. personnel in Israel remains in effect “until further notice” as a result of the conflict between Israel and Iran, the State Department said in a notice.
“U.S. citizens who wish to depart should not delay in taking advantage of commercial transportation options,” the notice said.
