Australia eases travel warning for Lebanon for Bahrain, Kuwait, Israel, Qatar and the UAE

Sydney-Middle East Times Int'l:Travel
advice for Bahrain, Kuwait, Israel, Qatar and the UAE was downgraded
from the highest level of restrictions (do not travel) to level three
(reconsider your need to travel).
The downgrade follows the US and
Iran tentatively agreeing to a peace deal for the conflict in the Middle
East, which is due to be formally agreed to on Friday in Switzerland.
Foreign
Minister Penny Wong said the current conditions in parts of the region
meant it was appropriate to lift the do-not-travel warning.
"Level
three remains a high threshold. We continue to urge Australians to
postpone non-essential travel," she said in a statement on Wednesday. |
