TRAVEL WARNING FROM POLAND

In the updated travel list by the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was advised not to travel to Israel, the West Bank, Gaza, and Lebanon.

The ministry's statement said, "A sudden escalation in military operations cannot be ruled out, which could cause significant difficulties in leaving these three countries. Any escalation could lead to significant restrictions on air traffic and the inability to cross land border crossings."
