Mike Huckabee, the U.S. ambassador to Israel, said Wednesday the federal government is working to evacuate U.S. citizens from the country as an escalating conflict with Iran enters its sixth day.
“Urgent notice! American citizens wanting to leave Israel- US Embassy in Israel @usembassyjlm is working on evacuation flights & cruise ship departures,” Ambassador Mike Huckabee posted on X.
He noted Americans must enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive updates and alerts on travel.
The State Department on Saturday authorized family members of U.S. personnel and non-emergency employees to depart Israel “due to the volatile and unpredictable security situation in the region.”
The State Department currently advises against travel to Israel, citing the risk of armed conflict, terrorism and civil unrest.
