Heading Out of Israel: The German Foreign Ministry's Evacuation Plan for Citizens
German citizens are being encouraged by the Foreign Ministry to fly through Jordanian airspace.
For the Folks Back Home: A charter flight arranged by the German Foreign Ministry aims to get fellow Germans out of Israel, taking off from Jordan. Mark your calendars for midday on Wednesday! Just remember, getting to Amman is all on you, mate, and it'll cost ya. More details on booking seats and other specifics will be shared soon. A direct flight from Israel remains impossible due to the ongoing airspace closure [2].
On the Radar:
- Jordan
- Amman
- Israel
- Evacuation flights
- Foreign Ministry
- Egypt
More Deets:
This Amman-to-Frankfurt journey is merely the starting point for those hungry to bid Israel adieu [1]. If overland travel from Israel to Jordan isn’t your thing, fret not! Jordanian border authorities might issue a visa right at the border in unusual circumstances [2].
Don't rule out a sneaky trip across Israel's border with Egypt, though official efforts center around Jordan for now. Remember, if embarking on any adventure, always weigh the risks, especially heeding the advice of the Israeli Civil Defense [2].
In a nutshell, the German Foreign Ministry wants to help get thousands of German citizens back in the motherland, with around 4,000 already registered in Israel via the Elefand list. The untold number of new faces joining this roll call is on the rise [2].
The men behind the curtain say the European Union isn't likely to sit this one out either, lending a helping hand to member states like Germany in the great evacuation race [1]. Fingers crossed for a trouble-free expedition! Stay tuned for further updates.
