MFA Spokesperson's Comments on the Situation in Israel, 7 October 2023

Singapore strongly condemns the rocket and terror attacks from Gaza on Israel, which have resulted in deaths and injuries of many innocent civilians. Our thoughts are with the families of the victims. We call for an immediate end to the violence and urge all sides to do their utmost to protect the safety and security of civilians.

  There are currently no reports of any Singaporeans affected. Singaporeans in Israel are strongly advised to stay near protected places and avoid unnecessary travel. They 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 should avoid all travel to the south of Israel. Singaporeans travelling to Israel should e-register with MFA at https://eregister.mfa.gov.sg if they have not already done so.
