U.S. clears some diplomatic staff to leave Israel amid tension with Iran
Read Original Source
The U.S. State Department authorized non-emergency personnel and their family members to leave Israel on Friday, citing unspecified "safety risks." The change in guidance from the State Department comes as the U.S. continues negotiations with Iran on a potential nuclear deal, which Tehran hopes will avert a potential American military assault President Trump has prepared for with a massive deployment to the Middle East.
