Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid urged Israelis not to travel to Istanbul, saying that Israeli and Turkish authorities have recently thwarted Iranian-backed terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn recent weeks, Israeli security services, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Prime Minister\u2019s Office have put tremendous effort into saving Israeli lives, some of whom have returned to Israel and are walking among us without knowing their lives were saved,\u201d Lapid in his statement Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019ve planned a flight to Istanbul \u2014 cancel it,\u201d he said. \u201cNo vacation is worth your lives and the lives of your loved ones. Listen to the directives we are putting out, we are updating them all the time and in accordance with our status assessment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s National Security Council raised the threat warning for Istanbul to 4, meaning Israelis should not enter the area and should immediately leave if they are already there.<\/p>\n

Israeli was said\u00a0last week to have thwarted an Iranian plot<\/a>\u00a0to kidnap Israeli tourists, the Times of Israel reported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
