Israel’s non-resident ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago and Caricom Itai Bardov has urged foreign nationals in Israel to stay close to emergency shelters amid growing tensions with Iran and the risk of military escalation.

In an interview with Newsday on June 17, Bardov – who is based in Panama and also serves as Israel’s ambassador to Panama, Barbados, Guyana, and Suriname – said his office had no confirmed reports of Trinidad and Tobago citizens currently in Israel.

“We are not aware of any TT citizens in Israel…Who may want to leave. There might be, but we have no information about any citizen of Trinidad and Tobago,” Bardov said.
