Israel issues travel warning involving several Middle Eastern states
The Israeli government wants Israelis to avoid travel to the UAE, Turkey and other countries following the killing of an Iranian nuclear scientist.
Israel is warning its citizens to avoid travel to several states in the Gulf and other parts of the Middle East. The news comes as Iran vows revenge for the killing of a nuclear scientist; Tehran says Israel was responsible.
The warning also follows Israeli visits to the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain following the normalization deals between Israel and the two Gulf countries.
Israel’s National Security Council sent out a warning Thursday urging citizens to avoid travel to the UAE, Bahrain, the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan, as well as all of Africa, The Associated Press reported.
The travel warning for the UAE is classified as a “basic concrete threat.”
