Citing “increased regional tensions,” the US tells its employees and their family members in Israel not to travel outside the greater Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Beersheba areas until further notice.
Traveling between the cities and to Ben Gurion Airport is allowed.
The US is drawing down the presence of people who are not deemed essential to operations across the Middle East due to the potential for regional unrest, as tensions with Iran rise amid deteriorating nuclear talks.
