(MENAFN) India has resolved to evacuate all its nationals “who wish to leave” Israel due to the ongoing military tensions between the Jewish state and Iran.
On Thursday, the Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs urged its citizens to register with the Indian embassy located in Tel Aviv.
“In view of the recent developments between Israel and Iran, the Government of India has decided to evacuate from Israel those Indian nationals who wish to leave,” the ministry stated in an official press release.
