Federal government examines options for possible evacuation
The Czech Republic and Poland bring their citizens from Israel to safety in front of the rocket strokes. The Federal Government advises on the situation and checks opportunities.
The Federal Government advises on options for a possible evacuation of German citizens from Israel. After the EU countries have already started to bring their compatriots to safety, a spokesman for the Federal Foreign Office in Berlin referred to the fact that some European partners had much less nationals on site than Germany.
“But again: we also look at all the options,” said the spokesman. Because of the blocked airspace, this exit path initially developed. The federal government’s crisis team met again on Monday.
The Federal Foreign Office called on all German citizens in the region to enter the Elefand crisis list in order to be directly available. “For Israel, I can report that the Elefand list is currently swollen to almost 4,000 people, so the numbers go up there,” said the spokesman. The same is the case for Iran, where there are almost 1000 entries.
