The State Department has sent the following communique to US citizens who registered with the Department.
We are writing to update you on U.S. government assistance to depart Israel. We plan to offer transit options beginning on Friday, October 13, but it will take some period of time to schedule everyone seeking to depart. If you choose to take this departure assistance, transportation will be by air to Athens or Frankfurt, or sea from Haifa to Cyprus. You will not be able to choose your destination – we will assign you to the next available flight or ship.
Due to limited commercial air travel, the U.S. government will arrange charter flights for American citizens who want to leave Israel, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby says. https://t.co/J3NrHywhZH pic.twitter.com/7GmGAAYe5Q

Chaim V’Chessed has learned that United Airlines will be bolstering service from Athena to Newark, to service passengers seeing there from Tel Aviv.
It should be noted that passengers will need to assume financial responsibility for their travel. The cost is not yet known. Elected officials, such as Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) have vocally criticized the US government decision to charge its citizens for the transportation costs.
Chaim V’Chessed will continue to provide information as more details become available.
Did Brittany Griner have to repay the government for her flight from Russia? Also, what happened to my taxes that I pay?
See? The way it works with the twisted US government is, if you’re an illegal alien border jumper (asylum seeker for all you PC folks), or an Afghani trying to get to the US, then you get to have your transportation costs covered automatically from theft of the US taxpayer. But if you’re a U.S. citizen stuck in a war-torn country, you may have to pay your own way home. To be determined.
Mike Lawler has been ahead of everyone on the situation. He started on Shabbos, while Agudah was sleeping and schumer was having grand parties.
An email sent on Friday night at 1147 PM said to be at TLV by 9 AM shabbos morning.
