India has issued a significant advisory for its citizens residing in Israel, urging them to exercise heightened vigilance and avoid all non-essential travel to the country. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) emphasized strict adherence to safety guidelines and protocols issued by Israeli authorities and the Home Front Command, reflecting the volatile security situation in the region. This advisory comes amidst escalating tensions in the Middle East, with reports highlighting ongoing protests in Iran and warnings from Iran regarding potential strikes on US military bases if America intervenes. The Indian Embassy in Tel Aviv has activated 24x7 emergency helplines to assist Indian nationals in need. In a related development, India is also reportedly preparing to evacuate its citizens from Iran, and a separate advisory has been issued urging Indian nationals in Iran to leave the country by available means of transport due to the precarious situation there. This current advisory mirrors similar precautions taken by India in April 2024, when a prior escalation in the Iran-Israel conflict prompted a travel warning for both countries. The recurrence of such advisories underscores the persistent geopolitical instability in the region, necessitating caution for Indian nationals abroad. Several international and Indian news outlets have corroborated this story, confirming the issuance of the advisory on January 15, 2026.
