The US Embassy in Jerusalem has urged non-emergency government personnel and family members to leave Israel while commercial flights are still available, citing safety risks. According to Breaking Defense, the Department of State authorized the evacuation due to security incidents and potential threats from Iran. The situation is fluid, with talks between the US and Iran ending without a deal on February 26, 2026. As tensions rise, the US Embassy’s call for departure may lead to high demand for flights, with US Ambassador Mike Huckabee urging staff to prioritize finding a flight to ‘anyplace’ outside Israel.
