US Embassy in Jerusalem extends Judea and Samaria travel limits

The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem has extended temporary restrictions on personal travel for U.S. government personnel and their families into Judea and Samaria (referred to as the West Bank by Washington) through Wednesday. This measure is due to "heightened security concerns and increased volatility in the West Bank." The embassy advised individuals to remain alert, avoid demonstrations, and follow instructions from local authorities. The State Department's existing travel advisory for "Israel, the West Bank and Gaza" remains active.
