US consulate in Jerusalem suspends service ahead of May 14 embassy move

The US consulate in Jerusalem, which is set to be upgraded to America’s embassy in Israel on May 14, is shutting down all consular services as officials prepare for the move.

Services will stop being offered from tomorrow, May 9, and will return to operations after Tuesday, May 15. Only some urgent cases will be taken care of during this period.

Those seeking consular services while the Jerusalem site is closed must travel to the US Embassy in Tel Aviv or its branch office in Haifa.
