Sweden, Slovenia advise against travel to Israel

Sweden's foreign ministry announced that it is tightening its travel advice for Israel and Palestine due to the "serious" security situation in the Middle East, which "could quickly get worse."

"From now on, all travel to both countries is strictly advised against," the ministry said in a social media post shared by Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson.

Similarly, Slovenia’s ministry of foreign affairs said that "due to the situation" in Israel, "we advise against all travel for security reasons."

"There is the risk of rocket attacks from Lebanon and Gaza and the possibility of an escalation of tensions. The danger of attacks and threats from Iran has increased," the ministry added
