The Chinese Embassy in Israel issued an urgent advisory on Tuesday, calling on Chinese nationals to depart the country "as soon as possible" following escalating military exchanges between Israel and Iran. The warning comes amid heightened regional instability after both nations conducted reciprocal strikes this week.
In a statement posted on WeChat, the embassy emphasized: "Chinese nationals are advised to leave via land border crossings if they can ensure personal safety." It specifically recommended using routes toward Jordan, a neighboring country that maintains diplomatic ties with Israel.
The advisory follows reports of missile strikes in Tel Aviv on June 16, 2025, as shown in verified imagery from the scene. While no Chinese casualties have been reported, the embassy highlighted the unpredictability of the situation and advised against non-essential travel to the region.
This development underscores growing concerns about spillover effects from the Israel-Iran conflict, which has intensified economic uncertainties across Middle Eastern markets. Business analysts warn of potential disruptions to energy supply chains and regional trade corridors.
