First US charter flight for Americans leaving Israel is en route to Europe

From CNN's Betsy Klein

The first charter flight that the US State Department organized to get its citizens out of Israel has departed, the White House confirmed Friday.

The flight "is en route right now into Europe," National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications John Kirby told reporters.

He declined to provide an exact destination for the flight.

➡️ Additional flights will be “departing in the coming days,” he added, saying the State Department will organize charter flights “for as long as there is a demand from US citizens for departure assistance.”

The US is offering the arrangements for US citizens and their immediate family members who have been unable to book commercial tickets, he said. ➡️The US is also looking for ways to “expand capacity” via transportation by sea.
