The United States issued an evacuation order for the U.S. Embassy in Israel.

According to Reuters and other foreign media on the 27th, the U.S. Department of State on this day advised the evacuation of some employees of the U.S. Embassy in Israel and their families due to safety risks.

In addition, the U.S. Department of State was also said to have conveyed that it may restrict, without prior notice, the movement of embassy employees and their families to certain areas such as Jerusalem's Old City and the West Bank.

The evacuation order came as the possibility of an Iran strike by the Donald Trump administration surfaced. The State Department earlier issued an evacuation order for the U.S. Embassy in Lebanon on the 23rd.

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said, "Demand for flights is expected to surge," adding, "The top priority is to depart quickly," according to reports.
