Overview

  • On June 21, the Foreign Office dispatched another charter flight from Amman carrying 123 Germans back to Germany.
  • Approximately 4,000 German nationals remain in Israel and 1,000 in Iran, with options limited by closure of Israeli airspace.
  • German Luftwaffe jets executed the first direct evacuation from Israel on June 20, returning 64 citizens.
  • Commercial flights out of Amman are insufficient and large-scale overland convoys have been ruled out over security concerns.
  • The Foreign Office is urging Germans to register on its Elefand crisis list and has embassy teams at the Allenby crossing and Amman airport to facilitate departures.
