The State Department authorized the departure of non-emergency U.S. government personnel and their families from Israel, citing unspecified "safety risks," and said Americans may wish to leave while commercial flights were available.

The advisory was issued the morning after the Geneva round ended without a deal, a signal that Washington was preparing for Iranian retaliation against Israel.
