FAMAGUSTA GAZETTTE – The US Embassy in Jerusalem will remain closed until Friday due to ongoing security concerns, the US State Department announced.
The embassy stated on social media that it currently has no plans to assist private American citizens in leaving the country.
The closure follows remarks from President Donald Trump, who called on Iran to surrender unconditionally and warned that he knows the whereabouts of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Rocket attacks between Israel and Iran continued Wednesday night, further escalating tensions in the region.
