The U.S. Embassy in Israel is evacuating Americans as tensions with Iran escalate. Ambassador Mike Huckabee announced urgent evacuation plans for citizens wanting to leave Israel. Flights and cruise ships are being arranged for departure.
This evacuation comes after heavy Iranian strikes on Israel. The U.S. Embassy had earlier ordered staff to shelter in place. Now private citizens are being helped to leave safely.
Iran’s attacks forced Israel to defend itself. American lives are at risk in this conflict. The embassy is working hard to protect our people.
Critics say the Biden administration was too slow to act. Other countries evacuated citizens faster. America should always lead in protecting its people abroad.
President Trump rejected Putin’s offer to mediate. Strong leadership means not relying on adversaries. America stands firmly with Israel against Iranian aggression.
The evacuation process is voluntary but necessary. All Americans in Israel should enroll in the Smart Traveler program. Updates will be provided as the situation develops.
Protecting citizens is the top priority. The embassy is doing its best under difficult circumstances. We pray for the safety of all involved.
This crisis shows why America needs strong leadership. Weakness invites aggression. We must stand strong with our allies and protect our people.
