Israel issues travel warning for citizens visiting Russia amidst political turmoil.

Israel has warned its citizens against traveling to Russia amid the revolt by the Wagner mercenary group against the Kremlin. There are around 60,000-70,000 Israelis and 500,000 Jews living in Russia who are eligible to immigrate to Israel. The Israeli government is preparing to help Israelis and Russian Jews who may need to leave Russia and is sending extra staff to expedite travel documents. The government is also discussing immigration from Russia to Israel in light of the recent conflict. The top US military officer has canceled his scheduled trip to the Middle East due to the situation in Russia.
