Following an updated assessment, the National Security Council Counter-Terrorism Bureau on Tuesday, decided to downgrade the travel warning for Turkey to that of ‘continuing potential threat’ (the lowest of the four travel warning levels).

A continuing threat of terrorist attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets exists in Turkey. Therefore, the NSCCTB recommends to avoid non-essential travel to Turkey or, at least, to be especially alert and cautious.
