Air India has announced the suspension of its flights from New Delhi to Tel Aviv until May 31 due to the escalating conflict in the Middle East. This suspension affects more than 40,000 Indians living in Israel, many of whom are seeking to return to India for personal or professional reasons. With commercial flights halted, these individuals now face the challenge of traveling through Jordan or Egypt to reach India. The Indian embassy in Tel Aviv is actively assisting affected citizens by maintaining a 24x7 emergency line and conducting a registration drive to ensure their safety and support. Ambassador J P Singh and the embassy team have engaged with the Indian community through virtual discussions, providing reassurance during this crisis. The situation has been exacerbated by recent military actions, including a joint attack by the US and Israel on Iran, which has intensified the conflict across the Gulf region and disrupted energy supply chains.
