Greek Foreign Ministry Advises Citizens to Avoid Travel to Middle East

The Greek Foreign Ministry advises Greek citizens to avoid travel to Israel, the Palestinian territories, and Iran due to the evolving situation in the Middle East and the possibility of armed conflict. This recommendation follows similar moves by the US and the United Kingdom, in light of rising tensions in the region.
