Bahamians Successfully Repatriated from Israel

16 October 2023

The Government of The Bahamas advises that as of 7:00 pm (GMT +3), the last Bahamian national who reached out to the Ministry for consular assistance was evacuated from Tel Aviv via Athens.

The Government of The Bahamas is appreciative to the Government of Canada for their support in providing space on their repatriation flight. Repatriation requires complex logistical and security protocols. This latest effort underscores the importance of diplomacy for The Bahamas and the Davis Administration’s foreign policy agenda specific to consular and crisis.

The Ministry advises against all travel to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian territories. The Ministry further advises against all travel to other parts of the region.

Do not under any circumstances travel to Gaza; Sheba’a Farms and Ghajjar; any location within 500m of the border with Lebanon east of Metula, including the northern edge of the town and within 500m of the border with Syria; areas north of and including Jenin city, Burqin and Arranah in the north of the West Bank; the city of Nablus, Joseph’s Tomb, and the Balata and New Askar refugee camps near Nablus and the village of Huwara, south of Nablus.
