Iran causing trouble: Israel raises travel warnings for Maldives, Armenia, lowers warning for Brazil
[IsrelTimes] The National Security Council adjusts the travel warning for three countries following an updated security assessment.
The travel warning level is raised in both the Maldives and in Armenia but lowered in Brazil.
The travel warning for Armenia is upped from Level 1 to Level 2, “in light of the worsening threat to Israelis/Jews in Armenia from terrorist elements,” the NSC says.
Level 2 recommends travelers “take increased precautionary measures,” but is not seen as a call to avoid or leave the country altogether.
In the Maldives, the warning is upped from Level 2 to Level 3, “in light of the presence of terrorist supporters on the island alongside increasing hostility toward Israelis and Jews.”
Under a Level 3 warning, Israelis are recommended to avoid all nonessential travel to the location.
Lastly, the NSC says it has lowered the travel warning for Brazil back down to Level 1, with the exception of the Brazil-Argentina-Paraguay tri-border area, where a Level 2 warning will remain in place.
