Israel, West Bank, and Gaza: As a result of the current security situation and ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran, the U.S. Embassy directed all U.S. government employees and their family members to continue to shelter in place until further notice. The Department of State is planning for contingencies to assist with private U.S. citizens’ departure from Israel. We will alert the U.S. citizen community if there is additional information to share regarding departure options. If you are a U.S. citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident currently in Israel or the West Bank and seeking U.S. government assistance to depart, please visit the following link so the Department of State can better assist you and provide you with timely updates: https://il.usembassy.gov/security-alert-u-s-embassy-jerusalem-israel-june-19-2025-2/
