Australia Calls on Citizens to Flee Middle East Immediately
(MENAFN) Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese sounded the alarm Sunday, announcing that Canberra has dramatically escalated its travel warnings across the Middle East and is urging all citizens in the region to leave without delay.
Speaking to reporters in Sydney, Albanese confirmed that the federal government had upgraded its official travel advisory to "do not travel" for Israel, Lebanon, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) — a sweeping response to the coordinated U.S.-Israeli airstrikes launched against Iran.
Albanese was unambiguous in his message to Australians already on the ground in those countries, stating they should depart immediately wherever it is safe to do so.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade had already maintained a standing "do not travel" warning for Iran since 2020, meaning the Islamic Republic now sits within a broader regional landscape that Canberra considers too dangerous for its nationals.
Australia joins a widening group of nations scrambling to protect their citizens abroad as the fallout from the U.S.-Israeli strikes reverberates across the region, raising fears of a broader conflict with devastating consequences for civilian populations.
