The Embassy of Uzbekistan in Israel has called on citizens to temporarily leave the country.
It is recommended to use the "Begin" point operating around the clock at the Israel-Egypt border to leave Israel.
According to the "Dunyo" news agency, following the escalation of the situation in the Middle East region, the Embassy of Uzbekistan in Israel called on citizens to leave the country.
Citizens were advised to remain vigilant, strictly adhere to the security measures established by the Israeli government, stay in specially equipped safe zones as much as possible until further instructions are received, carefully follow the official instructions of the embassy, limit unnecessary outings, and maintain calm.
Furthermore, citizens were recommended to temporarily leave Israeli territory until the situation stabilizes. The embassy reminded that the "Begin" border crossing point on the Israel-Egypt border operates 24/7, and that visas are not required for Uzbek citizens to enter the Sinai Peninsula.
"To expedite border crossing, it is recommended to pay border fees online in advance. Using other land border crossings is not recommended, as their operating hours may change, so it is necessary to clarify current information before planning travel," the report states.
The embassy asked citizens to regularly monitor updates from official sources of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan and diplomatic missions abroad, and to take into account the warnings and recommendations of Israeli services.
