Specifically, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has closely coordinated with relevant domestic agencies to direct Vietnamese representative agencies in Israel, Iran and neighboring areas to closely coordinate in implementing emergency response plans, urgently evacuating Vietnamese citizens in dangerous areas to a third country and returning home. The cost of evacuating citizens back home is covered by the budget.

According to the Vietnamese Embassy in Israel, following the direction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and domestic authorities, the Embassy has closely coordinated with the Vietnamese Embassy in Egypt to bring a total of nearly 50 Vietnamese citizens safely into Egypt and some citizens have returned to Vietnam. The remaining citizens are completing the necessary procedures as soon as possible.

Previously, immediately after receiving information about Vietnamese citizens trapped in the conflict area, the Vietnamese Embassy in Israel actively coordinated closely with domestic authorities, local authorities and the Vietnamese Embassy in Egypt to take necessary protective measures to ensure security and safety for Vietnamese citizens in the area, and support necessary procedures to evacuate people from dangerous areas.

In the context of the continued complicated and unpredictable developments of the conflict, the Vietnamese Embassy in Israel continues to advise citizens still residing in the conflict area to remain calm, maintain regular contact with the Embassy, and strictly comply with the instructions of local authorities and warnings from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Embassy.

In case of emergency, citizens can contact the Embassy's 24/7 citizen protection hotlines at +972 555 025 616 and +972 527 274 248 for timely support.

The Vietnamese Embassy in Israel will continue to implement the direction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, closely coordinate with domestic authorities, local authorities, and Vietnamese representative agencies in neighboring areas to closely monitor the situation, prepare measures to ensure security and safety for citizens as well as the headquarters of Vietnamese representative agencies, and make plans to evacuate citizens to safe areas in the coming time.
