In a shocking turn of events, the US embassy in Israel has evacuated 79 staff and their families as more Americans are clamoring to leave the country. The sudden exodus has left many scratching their heads and wondering just what is going on.
According to embassy spokesperson, Karen Smith, the decision to evacuate was made after receiving numerous requests from American citizens who were feeling uneasy about the current situation in Israel. “We wanted to ensure the safety of our employees and their families, so we made the difficult decision to evacuate them from the country,” Smith said.
When asked for comment, one American citizen, John Doe, expressed his relief at being able to leave Israel. “I just couldn’t take it anymore. The falafel was great and all, but I was starting to miss my good old American burgers,” Doe said with a chuckle.
Meanwhile, another American, Jane Smith, had a different reason for wanting to leave. “I heard there was a shortage of pumpkin spice lattes in Israel, and I just couldn’t bear the thought of going without my daily fix,” Smith lamented.
In response to the growing number of Americans looking to leave Israel, the US embassy has set up a hotline for those seeking assistance. The hotline, which can be reached at 1-800-LEAVEME, has been inundated with calls from concerned citizens.
Despite the chaos and confusion surrounding the evacuation, embassy officials are assuring the public that everything is under control. “We are working tirelessly to ensure the safe return of all American citizens who wish to leave Israel,” said embassy spokesperson, Bob Johnson.
As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear – Americans will stop at nothing to ensure they have access to their beloved creature comforts, even if it means fleeing a foreign country. And who can blame them? After all, nothing quite compares to a good old American burger and a pumpkin spice latte.
