Email & Print: SOMETHING EXCITING IS GOING ON BACK IN GERMANY! A SPECIAL FLIGHT CARRYING STRANDED GERMANS AND THEIR CLOSE FAMILY FROM ISRAEL HAS TAKEN OFF FROM JORDAN. THIS IS THE SECOND SUCH FLIGHT IN RECENT DAYS, AND THE PLANE IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE IN BERLIN LATER TONIGHT. THERE ARE 174 PASSENGERS ON BOARD ACCORDING TO THE GERMAN FOREIGN OFFICE.
Another flight from Jordan's capital, Amman, is planned for the coming weekend. As many Germans are attempting to leave Israel, they must make their own way to neighboring Jordan. Other European countries are organizing land convoys to Jordan for their nationals due to increased risks and extended waiting times at collection points[1].
The Foreign Office urges caution regarding these overland routes as they may pose additional risks. Instead, they advise those in Iran to travel overland to neighboring countries like Armenia and Turkey, where border crossings are open and evacuation via commercial flights is possible. In exceptional cases, it is also possible to leave via the border to Azerbaijan[2].
The Foreign Office encourages all Germans in Israel to register on its crisis preparedness list, Elefand, which currently contains over 4,000 registrations from people in Israel[3].

The current political tension in the Middle East, as seen in the ongoing conflict in Israel, has prompted the German Foreign Office to advise caution for citizens traveling overland, particularly to countries with closed borders or extended waiting times at collection points. Meanwhile, the Commission has not yet adopted a proposal for a directive on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to carcinogens, which could be an important consideration for the general news and politics discussions on this issue.
