ANKARA: Warsaw advises Polish citizens not to travel to Lebanon, Israel, and Iran due to the “unstable situation” in the region, the Foreign Ministry said on Friday.
“Due to the increasing number of Polish tourists coming to Lebanon/Israel/Iran, we would like to remind you that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has long advised against all travel to this region,” the ministry stated on X.
“Unstable situation regarding with safety indicates that leaving these places will become increasingly difficult,” the statement added.
Israel, flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire, has faced international condemnation amid its continued brutal offensive on Gaza since an Oct. 7, 2023 attack by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas.
Nearly 39,500 Palestinians have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 91,000 injured, according to local health authorities.
Almost 10 months into the Israeli war, vast tracts of Gaza lie in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean
water and medicine.
Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, which ordered it to immediately halt its military operation in the southern city of Rafah, where over a million Palestinians had sought refuge from the war before it was invaded on May 6.
