Rubio Directs American Citizens in UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Israel to Fill Out State Dept. Departure Assistance Form

Secretary of State Marco Rubio called on American citizens in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Israel to fill out a departure assistance form through the State Department's crisis intake portal at mytravel.state.gov. The form provides information on available aviation and ground transportation options for those seeking to leave the region. The directive reflects growing concern for U.S. nationals as the Iran-Israel-US conflict continues to affect multiple countries across the Middle East.
