Member States Issue Travel Warnings for Iran and Israel Amid Rising Tensions
The recent spike in tensions began with airstrikes on April 1 targeting the Iranian Consulate in Damascus, resulting in the death of seven Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officials, widely attributed to Israel.
Following a major drone and missile attack launched by Iran on Israel overnight on April 13-14, several countries in the region temporarily closed their airspace. This attack was seen as retaliation for the suspected Israeli airstrike on the Iranian Consulate earlier in the month, AtoZSerwisPlus reports.
Travel Warnings Issued for the Middle East Amid Tensions
Among the countries issuing such travel advisories against all travel to some locations in the region due to the risk of military escalation are as follows:
Canada
On Thursday, April 11, Canada updated its travel advisory, instructing its citizens to avoid nonessential travel to Israel and to refrain from travelling to Gaza, the West Bank, and parts of the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights near the Syrian border.
Australia
Australia’s Smarttraveller website also issued updated warnings on the same day, cautioning against travel to Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and other countries in the region. On Friday, April 12, Australia further advised its citizens against travelling to Iran, Iraq, and Lebanon and recommended reconsidering travel to Israel and the Palestinian territories.
France
The French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs advised its citizens against travelling to Iran, Lebanon, Israel, and the Palestinian territories. Through a recent statement on social media platform X, the Ministry announced that relatives of Iran-based diplomats would return to France. Thus, French civil servants are now prohibited from conducting missions in the affected countries and territories.
Poland
Poland’s Foreign Ministry also issued a travel advisory against visiting Israel, Palestine, and Lebanon. The Ministry warned of potential sudden escalations in military operations that could lead to significant difficulties in leaving these countries, including restrictions on air traffic and border crossings.
Germany
Germany has specifically warned its citizens to leave Iran due to concrete risks of arbitrary arrest, interrogation, and long prison sentences. Dual citizens with Iranian and German nationality are considered especially vulnerable.
Netherlands
The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs advised citizens and residents to postpone all essential and nonessential trips to Israel and the autonomous Kurdistan Region in Iraq. Despite not urging citizens to leave these areas, the Ministry has temporarily closed its embassy in Tehran, Iran, and the Consulate in Erbil, Iraq, to the public.
Heightened Tensions Prompt Travel Warnings in the Middle East
The Ministry cited an increased risk of rocket attacks on Israel and Iraq and potential terrorist attacks in retaliation for an airstrike on the Iranian embassy in Syria, which resulted in the death of seven members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
While Dutch citizens have not been advised to leave Israel or the Kurdistan Region, the Ministry monitors the situation closely. The temporary closures of the embassy and Consulate are preventive measures and will remain closed to the public on Sunday, April 14.
