The Chinese Embassy has urged its citizens in Israel to leave the country via land routes as soon as possible, according to a notice from the embassy. Reuters reported that on the 17th, local time, the Chinese Embassy in Israel issued a notification on the social media platform WeChat, stating, “As the conflict between Israel and Iran continues to escalate, resulting in damage to civilian facilities and an increase in civilian casualties, the security situation is becoming more severe.”
They also advised leaving Israel via land routes leading to Jordan as Israeli airspace is closed. The embassy had already suspended external services, including consular services, since the 15th.
Additionally, on the 16th, they warned Chinese nationals in Israel to “closely monitor the situation and strictly follow the safety warnings and evacuation requirements announced by the Israeli authorities” and indicated that they could leave through three border crossings between Israel and Jordan.
