MFA Spokesperson's Comments in Response to Media Queries on the Situation in Israel and the Palestinian Territories

Singapore remains deeply concerned about the escalation of violence in Israel and the Palestinian Territories. We condemn the rocket attacks on Israel as well as separate attacks in Tel Aviv and the Jordan Valley which resulted in civilian casualties. We extend our deepest condolences to the families of the victims and wish those injured a swift recovery.

We urge all parties to exercise maximum restraint and de-escalate tensions to prevent further loss of lives. All parties must respect the sanctity of religious sites such as the Al Aqsa Mosque to enable people to worship safely and in peace, particularly during the holy month of Ramadan.

There are currently no reports of Singaporeans affected by the attacks. Singaporeans in Israel should be on high alert and monitor the news closely. They should follow instructions from the local authorities and take the necessary precautions for their personal safety. Singaporeans travelling to Israel are strongly encouraged to e-register with MFA at https://eregister.mfa.gov.sg.
