Turkey travel warning to remain in place for Passover

Israel’s severe warning against travel to Turkey is expected to remain in place throughout the Passover holiday because of the threat of an Islamic State attack, a senior counter-terrorism official says.

Turkey is a major resort destination for many Israelis during the spring holiday.

The official calls on Israelis to cancel their travel plans to Turkey and calls on travel agencies to allow cancelations without a fee. Similar travel warnings are in place to Jordan and the Sinai Peninsula.
