🚨 U.S. EMBASSY AUTHORIZES PERSONNEL DEPARTURE FROM ISRAEL OVER SAFETY RISKS AS USS GERALD FORD ARRIVES AND IRAN DEMANDS U.S. DROP ‘EXCESSIVE’ NUCLEAR TERMS

⚠️ U.S. EMBASSY STAFF TOLD TO LEAVE “TODAY” IF THEY WANT TO DEPART: U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee reportedly wrote in an email that staffers and family members who want to leave Israel “should do so TODAY,” according to The New York Times. The email was sent this morning at 10:24 a.m. local time, and the paper said it was verified by three people.

The embassy authorized some personnel to depart over “safety risks.” Huckabee wrote that the call for non-emergency staff to depart “will likely result in high demand for airline seats today,” and advised securing “a seat to anyplace from which you can then continue travel to DC,” with the priority being to leave the country expeditiously.

“There is no need to panic,” Huckabee reportedly wrote, “but for those desiring to leave, it’s important to make plans to depart sooner rather than later.”
