Israeli government advises against travel to Turkey
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Israeli government has advised citizens not to travel to Turkey after Saturday’s bombing.
The National Security Council issued the travel advisory just weeks before the Passover holiday. Turkish resorts are a popular destination for Israeli tourists during the spring vacation.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who’s also Israel’s foreign minister, instructed diplomats to increase manpower at the Israeli Consulate in Istanbul and instructed officials to bring Israelis injured in the attack back to Israel.
Two Magen David Adom ambulance planes took off for Istanbul Saturday evening.
