*US Starts Evacuation Of Citizens From Israel* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaIZskwFSAt2q5y6PN2M The US is evacuating citizens from Israel due to escalating tensions with Iran. US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee announced that the US Embassy in Jerusalem is working on evacuation flights and cruise ship departures for American citizens wishing to leave Israel. He urged Americans in the country to sign up for updates through the State Department's Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). The State Department has begun evacuating nonessential diplomats and their families from the US embassy in Israel. A government plane evacuated a number of diplomats and family members who had asked to leave. This move comes as President Donald Trump warns of the possibility of getting directly involved in the conflict, suggesting readiness to act if necessary. The conflict between Israel and Iran has intensified, with Iran firing around 400 missiles at Israel, killing 24 civilians. Israel has responded with strikes on Iranian targets, prompting concerns of further escalation. France is planning to suggest a negotiated solution to end the conflict between Iran and Israel, with President Emmanuel Macron's office saying he ordered Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot to draw up an initiative with close European partners. *Follow Umuaka News24 for more*
