The Government says it is closely monitoring escalating tensions and heightened instability in the Middle East.
Jamaican nationals are strongly advised to avoid non-essential travel to the region, particularly to countries experiencing armed conflict or civil unrest including:
•The State of Israel
•The State of Palestine
•The State of Qatar
•The Islamic Republic of Iran
The Government says it acknowledges that the situation remains unpredictable, with the potential for other countries in the region to be affected with little or no prior warning.
Jamaican nationals are therefore urged to exercise heightened vigilance and to closely monitor official updates.
At present, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade has no confirmed reports of Jamaican nationals present in Israel, Palestine and Iran. The Ministry is however aware of Jamaicans living in Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
