The announcement comes just hours after the #US Embassy in #Jerusalem implemented “authorized departure” status for non-essential personnel & family members, which means that eligible staffers can leave the country voluntarily at government expense.

The US Embassy in #Israel on Friday told its staff that it could leave the country & urged anyone considering departure to do so immediately.

In an email #US Ambassador #MikeHuckabee urged staff considering departure to do so quickly, advising them to to focus initially on getting any flight out of #Israel & to then make their way to Washington.

“Those wishing to take AD should do so TODAY,” Huckabee wrote, using an acronym for “authorized departure.”

…Huckabee said that there was no need for panic, but for those desiring to leave, it was important to make plans soon.

The email was recounted to The AP by someone involved with the #US mission who wasn’t authorized to share details.

The email came a day after #Iran & the #UnitedStates walked away from #nuclear negotiations without a deal, in their third round of nuclear talks in Geneva.

…Acc/to a confidential report by the #IAEA circulated to member states & seen Friday by AP, #Iran has NOT granted the #UN nuclear watchdog access to its nuclear facilities affected by the 12-day war in June, & as a result can’t confirm whether or not Iran has stopped its enrichment or the size of its stockpile.
