Countries urge their citizens to leave Israel and Iran after military confrontations escalated for the fifth day.




The German Foreign Ministry announced yesterday, Monday, that charter flights will operate from the Jordanian capital, Amman, to Frankfurt tomorrow, Wednesday, in light of the closure of Israeli airspace.

The ministry added that Germans wishing to leave Israel must organize their own transportation to Jordan, noting that departure via Egypt is also possible.

New Delhi urged its citizens to leave Tehran on Tuesday, while Indian citizens left Iran due to Israeli airstrikes. India announced that some Indian students had left Tehran.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that citizens "who can secure their own transportation have been asked to leave the city due to the evolving situation."

Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Henryka Mosicka-Dendis also announced the launch of a plan to evacuate Polish citizens from Israel. She explained that a land convoy will travel to Jordan, where the evacuees (initially estimated at around 200) will be airlifted to Poland.

Slovakia, in turn, has begun airlifting Slovak and other EU citizens from Israel via Jordan and Cyprus. 

The Slovak Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced Monday evening that the first flight to the capital, Bratislava, carried 73 people, including 30 Slovaks and 43 citizens of European Union countries. Further evacuation flights are planned for Tuesday and Wednesday.

For her part, Russian Human Rights Commissioner Tatyana Moskalkova reported via Telegram that a group of 86 people were evacuated from Iran to Azerbaijan on Saturday. A border crossing was organized on Sunday for another 238 Russians, including families of diplomats.

In a statement issued by the Chinese Embassy in Tel Aviv on Tuesday, the diplomatic mission called on Chinese citizens to leave Israel as soon as possible via the land border, recommending crossing into Jordan.

South Korea's Foreign Ministry also expanded its travel warning for Iran on Tuesday, urging its citizens to leave the country immediately.

In the same context, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer told reporters on Monday, during his participation in the G7 summit in Canada: "For British citizens in Israel, we are today advising them to register their presence there."

Starmer's spokesman said at a separate conference in London that officials wanted to gather information on British citizens in the region.

He announced the launch of the "Register Your Presence" portal for British nationals in Israel, noting that Britain is working to "increase logistical support for its citizens leaving Israel by land via Jordan and Egypt."

In the United States, the State Department wrote on its website that "the security situation in Israel, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, is unstable," and urged American citizens not to travel to Israel.

On Friday, Israel—with US support—launched a massive attack on Iran, bombing nuclear facilities and missile bases and assassinating military leaders and nuclear scientists, leaving a total of 224 dead and 1,277 wounded.

On the same day, Iran began responding with ballistic missile and drone attacks, which also caused significant material damage, 24 deaths, and 592 injuries, according to the Israeli Government Information Office.

Tel Aviv and Tehran are mutually hostile, and Israel's current aggression against Iran is the most extensive, representing a transition from a "shadow war" of bombings and assassinations to an open military conflict.
