🇮🇳 India Advises Citizens in Israel to Voluntarily Leave if Feeling Unsafe; Helpline Activated

 As tensions rise in the Middle East, the Indian government has issued a precautionary advisory to its citizens currently residing in or visiting Israel, urging them to assess their personal safety and consider leaving the country voluntarily if they feel at risk.

The advisory, released via the Indian Embassy in Tel Aviv, comes amid increasing regional instability and recent security incidents.




⚠️ A Message of Caution and Care

The statement reads:

“In view of the prevailing security situation and as a measure of caution, all Indian nationals in Israel are advised to remain vigilant and observe safety protocols. Those who feel unsafe or are living in vulnerable areas may consider leaving Israel voluntarily.”

This isn’t an evacuation order, but a strong signal of concern, emphasizing voluntary departure for those who may feel insecure in the current environment.


☎️ 24/7 Helpline for Assistance

To support citizens, the Indian Embassy has set up a 24x7 emergency helpline:

📞 +972-35226748
📧 cons1.telaviv@mea.gov.in

Indian nationals are also encouraged to register with the embassy if they haven’t already, making it easier for officials to reach them in case the situation escalates.


🛡️ Who Should Be Most Alert?

The advisory particularly applies to:

  • Students studying in Israel

  • Professionals working in high-risk zones

  • Tourists or pilgrims currently on short-term visits

  • Families in or near areas affected by recent unrest

The embassy has also asked citizens to avoid large public gatherings, stay updated through local news, and follow instructions from Israeli authorities.


🌍 India's Diplomatic Balance

India has maintained diplomatic ties with both Israel and several Arab nations, and this move reflects a neutral, humanitarian approach — prioritizing the safety of its citizens without taking sides politically.

While air travel remains operational, the embassy is coordinating closely with airlines and local authorities to ensure smooth departures for those opting to leave.


✈️ What Should Indian Citizens Do Next?

  • Stay in touch with the embassy

  • Keep documents and emergency items ready

  • Book flights early if planning to leave

  • Monitor updates from MEA or Indian Embassy social channels
