"Travel to Israel and East Jerusalem is urgently discouraged. The advice had previously applied only to certain parts of Israel but now takes in the whole country, a ministry source confirmed."
"The United States authorised the departure of non-emergency embassy staff from Israel as it threatened strikes on Iran and pressed its biggest military build-up in the Middle East in decades."
"We are monitoring the situation very closely and are in close contact with our embassy in Tel Aviv, including regarding the security situation of our colleagues on the ground and their families. Germany is in close contact with our embassy in Tehran, including regarding the security situation of our colleagues on the ground."
Germany's foreign ministry expanded its travel advisory to discourage all nationals from traveling to Israel and East Jerusalem, extending the warning beyond previously restricted areas. This escalation reflects heightened Middle East tensions. The United States authorized non-emergency embassy staff departures from Israel while threatening strikes on Iran and deploying its largest military buildup in the region in decades. Oman-mediated talks between Iran and the US aimed at preventing conflict showed initial promise but faced obstacles as Tehran demanded Washington drop excessive demands. Britain relocated diplomatic staff and dependents from Tel Aviv. Germany maintains full embassy operations in Tel Aviv while monitoring security closely, though its Tehran embassy remains understaffed due to diplomatic tensions and provides limited consular services.
