Due to possible disturbances, US issues travel warning for West Bank, Wednesday

The US State Department has issued a travel advisory for east Jerusalem and the West Bank due to the possibility of violence Wednesday after President Donald Trump suggested that he will move the embassy to Jerusalem and recognize the city as Israel's capital.

"Widespread calls for demonstrations beginning Dec. 6 in Jerusalem & the West Bank. US gov't employees & family restricted from personal travel in Jerusalem’s Old City & in the West Bank. US citizens should avoid crowds and areas with increased police and/or military presence," said the message issued by the State Department.
