Dear Friend,
I condemn the unprovoked attack and invasion of Israel, one of our closest allies, by Iranian backed Hamas terrorists. Israel must be supported as they defend themselves against this attack. I stand firmly with Israel, and I will continue to work with my colleagues in Congress and the Biden Administration to ensure the safety and security of the Israeli people.
Given the developing security situation, I want to share some important information for American citizens in Israel.
The U.S. Department of State has a 24/7 coordinating group communicating with U.S. citizens and providing them assistance through phone calls and an online form. U.S. citizens seeking to be in touch with the U.S. Embassy in Israel can fill out this form or call 1-833-890-9595 or 1-606-641-0131.
For the latest updates, please monitor the messages to U.S. citizens from the U.S. Embassy in Israel.
To ensure the U.S. Embassy in Israel can contact you in an emergency, U.S. citizens in Israel should enroll their contact information into the U.S. Department of State’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program.
The U.S. Department of State will post additional updates to its travel advisory for Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza here.
My office stands ready to assist. For assistance with the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Passport Agency, or U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, please contact my office by calling 1-856-427-7000.
