U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem to close from Wednesday through Friday.
The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem will be closed from Wednesday through Friday, June 18 to 20, due to heightened security concerns in the region. This decision aligns with guidance from Israel's Home Front Command and is part of broader efforts to ensure the safety of U.S. personnel and citizens [1].The closure affects both the consular sections in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. The State Department has stated that there are no immediate plans to assist private U.S. citizens in departing from Israel. However, contingency plans are in place to assist with departures if necessary [1, 2].
The closure comes amid rising tensions between Israel and Iran, with Iran threatening to target U.S. bases and installations in the Middle East if President Donald Trump joins Israel's military campaign against the Islamic Republic [2, 3]. Trump met with his national security team and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday but has not yet publicly announced his intentions regarding the conflict [3, 4].
This closure is a precautionary measure aimed at maintaining the safety and security of U.S. interests in the region during this period of heightened geopolitical tension.
