Due to the worsening situation in Israel, the Embassy of the Republic of Moldova in Tel Aviv has temporarily suspended regular consular services. It will now provide only emergency assistance, travel documents, and support in exceptional cases.
The airspace remains closed indefinitely, but individuals can leave the area by land through Egypt and Jordan.
- Allenby Bridge (to Jordan): Open 08:00–14:00
- Yitzhak Rabin Crossing (to Jordan): Open 08:00–20:00
- Taba (to Egypt): Open 24/7
- Jordan River Crossing (to Jordan): Open 09:00–16:00
Moldovan citizens planning to cross into Egypt or Jordan must meet those countries’ entry requirements:
- Egypt: A visa is required. Travelers can obtain it in advance or, in some cases, directly at the Taba border crossing—at the discretion of Egyptian authorities.
- Jordan: A visa is mandatory. Travelers should issue it at border crossings (including Allenby Bridge and Jordan River Crossing), but Jordanian authorities may deny entry without explanation. Travelers should carry cash for the visa fee.
Those needing consular assistance or wish to contact officials in Chisinau can reach the Moldovan Embassy in Israel at Leonardo Da Vinci 21, Tel Aviv, by calling the Emergency phone (24/7): +972 52 778 9772.

The situation escalated on Friday, June 13, when Israel launched surprise strikes on Iranian military and nuclear sites, prompting retaliatory attacks. Iran reportedly launched approximately 350 ballistic missiles at Israel starting Friday, and Israeli defense systems intercepted most of them.

According to the Israeli military, the Sunday–Monday night attack killed eight people—four in Petah Tikva, three in Haifa, and one in Bnei Brak. Another 95 individuals sustained injuries. In total, airstrikes between Friday and Monday resulted in 24 Israeli fatalities.
