Today, I noticed the United app advising folks to fly out via Amman, Dubai, or Athens - I'm assuming they are assuming you could find a local airline to get you out of Israel.
Israeli passport holders can not access/cross the King Hussein Bridge if it’s open. So there’s an automatic 3-5 hour driving delay to begin with. Moreover, Israeli Foreign Ministry have advised against travel to any Arab country due to risks from Hamas sympathizers. There are > 2 million Palestinians in Jordan. I know people who have gone this route on a US passport, but nobody on an IL passport.
We had around 15 hours of quiet before this last barrage. My little dog now starts shaking when we get in the stairwell. Our daughter seems to be doing better as does our bigger dog.
