U.S. Consulate General Jerusalem
November 21, 2012
Effective immediately, the U.S.
Consulate General has declared the Jerusalem light rail network to be
off-limits to U.S. government employees until further notice. Official
personnel and their family members continue to be prohibited from using
public buses and bus terminals or stations.
We take this opportunity to remind U.S.
citizens that, due to demonstrations in several areas of the West Bank,
the U.S. Consulate General has cancelled, until further notice, all
non-official travel by U.S. Government employees to Jericho and
Bethlehem, as well as travel through the West Bank on Routes 1 and 90.
Non-official travel by U.S. government employees to other areas of the
West Bank remains off-limits, as outlined in our current Travel Warning.
U.S. citizens in Jerusalem and the West
Bank are advised to avoid demonstrations and large crowds and to
remember that even peaceful protests can turn violent with little or no
warning. U.S. citizens should exercise extra caution and defer travel
to the West Bank to the extent possible.
