Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Travel advisory for Greek citizens from embassies in the Middle East
Greek embassies in the Middle East have issued travel advisories for Greek citizens due to security concerns in the region.
The Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs has released travel advisories for Greek nationals currently located in the Middle East, particularly focusing on those in Israel. Due to the heightened security situation, the Embassy of Greece in Israel has instructed Greek citizens to remain in safe locations near shelters and to closely follow the directives provided by local authorities. The ongoing situation has led to the closure of Israeli airspace, resulting in flight cancellations at Ben Gurion Airport, which affects travel for many individuals in the region.
Greek citizens who are in Israel are urged to register their details through an online form provided by the embassy. This measure aims to ensure that the embassy can maintain communication with its citizens and provide necessary assistance in these challenging circumstances. The Greek government is taking proactive steps to protect its nationals abroad, emphasizing the importance of safety and real-time updates from local officials.
In case of emergencies, Greek nationals are encouraged to reach out to the embassy's emergency telephone line. The embassy is also advising citizens to follow their social media accounts for the latest information and updates as the situation evolves. This advisory is part of a broader effort by the Greek government to ensure the safety and well-being of its citizens during times of increased regional tensions.
