Chinese Embassy Urgent Announcement: Chinese Citizens in Israel Are Recommended to Return to China or Depart from Israel via Land Routes Promptly

2025-06-17

On the 16th, the Chinese Embassy in Israel issued a reminder asking Chinese citizens in Israel to return to China or leave through land routes as soon as possible. The full message is as follows:

The situation between Israel and Iran keeps getting worse. More civilian buildings are being hit, and the number of innocent people affected is growing, making things much more dangerous. Lately, a lot of Chinese people in Israel have reached out to the Embassy by phone and email, asking when the airports will reopen and when Hainan Airlines will start flying again.

The Israeli airspace is still closed right now, and the government has extended the state of emergency until June 30. However, official sources say that border crossings between Israel and Jordan, and Egypt, are still open. The Chinese Embassy in Israel is advising Chinese citizens there to leave as soon as they can through land crossings, especially heading toward Jordan, while making sure they're safe.
