Fox News
The U.S. Embassy Jerusalem announced it will allow non-essential government personnel to leave Israel ahead of potential U.S. strikes on Iran.
Rachel Wolf is a breaking news writer for Fox News Digital and FOX Business.
The Times reported that the ambassador said in his email that the move was a result of "an abundance of caution" and that those wishing to leave "should do so TODAY." He reportedly urged them to look for flights out of Ben Gurion Airport to any destination, cautioning that the embassy's move "will likely result in high demand for airline seats today."
In the email, Huckabee also said that there was "no need to panic," but he underscored that those looking to leave should "make plans to depart sooner rather than later," the Times reported.
