Prime Minister's office urges Israelis not to go to Turkey
The advisory, issued every year before the High Holidays and Passover when Israelis travel abroad in droves, grouped Turkey together with Azerbaijan, Nigeria and Kenya as countries where there are continuous potential threats, and where non-vital travel should be avoided.Something tells me that there are very few Israelis in countries listed in the last paragraph anyway. But Morocco used to be a common destination for Israelis, and I know some Israelis who have visited the UAE (Dubai) and Kuwait using non-Israeli passports. Hmmm.
...
Egypt and Jordan are listed as countries where there is a "basic" level of a concrete threat, and which should be avoided. The warning against travel to Sinai, however, is even higher, the advisory being to "avoid all visits and to leave the region immediately."
Other areas with that urgent classification include parts of southern Thailand and the southern Philippines, eastern Senegal, the Kashmir region in northern India, northern Nigeria, parts of Kenya and Chechnya.
Israelis and Jews are also advised to leave Sudan, Somalia and Afghanistan immediately; to leave Algeria, Djibouti, Mauritania, Libya, Tunisia, Indonesia, Burkina Faso, the Ivory Coast, Togo, Mali, Malaysia and Pakistan as soon as possible, and to not include the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Morocco, Oman in their holiday travel plans.
