The Chinese Embassy in Israel issued a reminder on Monday (16th) titled "Reminder for Chinese Citizens in Israel to Quickly Depart via Land Border Crossings", urging Chinese citizens in Israel to leave as soon as possible through land border crossings, preferably choosing the Jordan direction, ensuring their own safety. The advisory includes reference information on border opening times, transit conditions, and passage fees.
The Chinese Embassy stated that the ongoing escalation of the conflict between Israel and Iran has led to damage to many civilian facilities and an increasing number of civilian casualties, making the security situation more severe. In recent days, numerous Chinese citizens in Israel have called or emailed the embassy inquiring about airport reopening and flight resumption. The embassy pointed out that Israeli airspace remains closed and the government of Israel has extended the nationwide state of emergency until the 30th of this month. At the same time, relevant departments have specifically noted that the borders between Israel and Jordan, as well as Egypt, remain open.
The embassy emphasized its commitment to ensuring the normal operation of consular document services and meeting the needs of Chinese citizens in Israel for returning home or leaving the country. Additionally, Taiwanese authorities stated on Monday that their representative office in Israel has assisted 16 Taiwanese people in leaving as of that day, with 280 still in Israel.
