Viewing cable 09TELAVIV28, REQUEST TO DEFER NON-MISSION CRITICAL TRAVEL

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables

1.  This is a joint Embassy Tel Aviv and Consulate General 
Jerusalem message. 
 
2.  Due to ongoing military activities in the Gaza Strip, and 
ongoing rocket fire at southern Israeli cities (including a strike 
on the south Tel Aviv suburb of Rehovot on January 6), and regular 
demonstrations in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, Embassy Tel Aviv 
and Consulate General Jerusalem request Department assistance with 
deferring all non-Mission Critical visitors at this time.  Embassy 
and Consulate General resources have been strained by demands 
associated with the situation in Gaza and southern Israel, and we 
are unable to provide support for non-essential travel.  We 
appreciate the Department's assistance with this matter, and will 
review our visit support capabilities as events unfold.
