# Washington Restricts Movement of Its Diplomats in Israel

The United States has imposed restrictions on the movement of its diplomats in Israel due to security concerns, according to its embassy. The embassy stated in a notice: "Out of an abundance of caution, U.S. government employees and their family members are prohibited from personal travel outside the areas of Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Beersheba until further notice." It also added that "the security environment remains complex and can change rapidly, depending on the political situation and recent events."
