U.S. Embassy Alert

December 06, 2017

The recent announcement that the United States recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and plans to relocate the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem may spark protests, some of which have the potential to become violent.  The U.S. Embassy in London reminds U.S. citizens of the need for caution and personal awareness.

Review your personal security plans; remain aware of your surroundings, including local events; and monitor local news for updates.  Maintain a high-level of vigilance, take appropriate steps to enhance your personal security, and follow instructions of local authorities.  Avoid areas of demonstrations and exercise caution if in the vicinity of any large gatherings, protests, or demonstrations.
