The Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) has issued a statement urging its citizens in Israel to consider leaving if it is safe to do so.
This advisory comes in the wake of recent strikes on Iran, which have raised concerns about potential military reprisals.
According to DFAT, there is a high threat of military reprisals following the strikes on Iran. The situation in the region is volatile, and tensions are running high.

“There’s a high threat of military reprisals & terrorist attacks against Israel & Israeli interests across the region. The security situation could deteriorate quickly. We urge Australians in Israel or the Occupied Palestinian Territories to depart if it’s safe to do so,” according to a post in the Smart Traveller account on X, which posts advice from DFAT.
As a result, the Australian government is taking the safety and security of its citizens seriously and is advising them to carefully assess their circumstances and consider leaving Israel if they feel it is necessary.
The primary concern of the Australian government is the safety and well-being of its citizens.
DFAT is closely monitoring the situation in Israel and is in contact with local authorities to gather the latest information. They are also providing consular assistance to Australians who may require it.
It is important for Australian citizens in Israel to stay informed about the situation, follow the advice of local authorities, and register their travel plans with DFAT. By doing so, they can ensure that they receive the latest updates and assistance if needed.
