The National Association of Travel Agencies (ANAT) is closely monitoring the situation in southern Israel, where Hamas attacks have occurred. The region is currently experiencing a highly conflictive situation, and the safety of tourists is our top priority. A state of emergency has been declared in Israel , and the Israeli Ministry of Tourism recommends avoiding tours throughout the country. Passengers arriving by cruise ship are advised to remain on their ships, and all other tourists are advised to stay in their hotels.

Currently, there are about 900 Romanians in Israel, the vast majority of whom are pilgrims, very few having come for other types of tourist packages. We would like to inform you that, in principle, tourists in Israel have not reported any major problems, no tourist Romanian is not injured and local authorities are making sustained efforts to ensure the protection of foreign citizens. However, due to the uncertain evolution of the situation in southern Israel, we strongly recommend that all travel agencies suspend sending tourists to this area in the coming weeks, until the situation stabilizes.

We also recommend that travel agencies and tourists carefully follow the developments and information coming from ANAT, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other official channels and decide with caution in favor of tourists. Currently, the national airline TAROM has canceled the following three flights to Israel.

Considering the recent events that consisted of the launch of a large number of rockets from the Gaza Strip towards the territory of the State of Israel and the official statement of this state regarding the combat mobilization of the Israeli army, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommends that Romanian citizens who are in or transiting this state follow the instructions of local authorities, take shelter in buildings and, when the situation allows, leave the country.

At the same time, the MAE warns Romanian citizens who intend to travel to Israel to reschedule their trip.

"Romanian citizens who are in, transiting or intending to travel to the State of Israel are advised to contact the Romanian Embassy in Tel Aviv and announce their presence in the region, thus communicating their identification data and their own coordinates to the e-mail address telaviv@mae.ro, in order to be contacted in emergency situations," the MAE also transmitted. Also, the permanent telephone number of the Romanian Embassy in Tel Aviv is +972 54 5643279, and that of the Consulate General in Haifa: +972 543 998 038.
