FCO warns against holiday travel to Israel

(20 February 2003)

HOLIDAYMAKERS should not go to Israel, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has warned.

The FCO has advised people against “any non-essential travel including holiday travel” to Israel.

The FCO said terrorist attacks in Israel are not aimed at British interests, but “pose a threat because they are unpredictable and indiscriminate and often in areas frequented by tourists”.

The warning on Israel comes as the FCO advises British nationals in Iraq and Kuwait to leave immediately.
