US Embassy in Jerusalem: On February 27, 2026, the Department of State authorized the departure of non-emergency U.S. government personnel and family members of U.S. government personnel from Mission Israel due to safety risks. 

In response to security incidents and without advance notice, the U.S. Embassy may further restrict or prohibit U.S. government employees and their family members from traveling to certain areas of Israel, the Old City of Jerusalem, and the West Bank. Persons may wish to consider leaving Israel while commercial flights are available.

Ambassador Mike Huckabee emailed staff, urging those wishing to leave Israel to depart "today," warning of likely high demand for flights from Ben Gurion Airport and stressing a rapid exit, according to a copy reviewed by the NYT.
