Czech Republic, Taiwan help nationals leave Israel; Iran spirits foreign diplomats out via Turkmenistan

The Czech Republic is sending a plane for Czechs who want to leave Israel amid the conflict with Iran, the Czech Foreign Ministry says. Other Czechs will use another plane sent by the government of Slovakia headed to Jordan to return home.

Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs says it helped 14 Taiwanese leave Israel by bus for Jordan on Sunday and will help them travel onward.

The ministry is in touch with another nine Taiwanese currently in Iran and will assist them if they need help departing, the ministry said in a statement Monday.

The German embassy says its nationals in Israel must sit tight until the situation stabilizes. “As long as the airspace is closed and the land gateway is not secure enough, we unfortunately have no possibility to support you with your departure,” it says.

In Iran, some 120 people, including diplomats and their families, were evacuated via Turkmenistan, the country’s Foreign Ministry says. Many of those evacuated were from fellow Central Asian states of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, officials say.
