The Vietnamese Embassy in Israel has closely coordinated with the Vietnamese Embassy in Egypt to bring 33 Vietnamese citizens out of Israel safely and some citizens have returned home.

For citizens currently staying in Israel and Iran, Vietnamese representative agencies in these areas continue to recommend that citizens move to safe areas or go to a third country to return to Vietnam.

This afternoon, the Vietnamese Embassy in Israel also advised citizens to follow the instructions of the host country and continue to register for evacuation if needed, following the US airstrike on Iran.

The Embassy urgently recommends to ensure the safety of people and property of Vietnamese citizens in the host country.

It is necessary to strictly follow the instructions of the Israel Home Front Command and local authorities; stay at home, minimize movement, only go out when absolutely necessary and ensure safety. Prepare personal belongings, documents, medicine, essential food and rechargeable batteries to be able to respond when needed to go to shelter.

The Embassy continues to open registration forms for citizens wishing to leave Israel for Vietnam or a third country, and recommends that people keep in regular contact with the Embassy.
