Germany Begins Evacuating Citizens from Israel

Germany has announced the evacuation of its citizens from Israel amid heightened tensions and fears of a major Iranian missile strike on Israeli territory.

Meanwhile, the United Kingdom has advised its citizens in Israel to remain near bomb shelters and register their presence with British authorities.

A spokesperson for the German Foreign Ministry confirmed on Monday that evacuation flights will begin on Wednesday, routing German nationals through Jordan’s capital, Amman, via a chartered aircraft.

Germans registered with crisis services have already been notified of the available evacuation option.

The British government has also urged its nationals in Israel to register through the official "Check Your Presence" portal. The advice aims to help the government understand who is currently in the region and may require assistance if the security situation deteriorates.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, speaking at the G7 Summit in Canada, reiterated the importance of registration and caution for British citizens.

A separate briefing in London confirmed that the UK is ramping up logistical support to aid its citizens leaving Israel overland through Jordan and Egypt.
