Brazil’s Itamaraty warns citizens against travel to the Middle East amid rising tensions

Brazil’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a consular alert on 21 July urging Brazilians to avoid non‑essential travel to Iran, Israel, southern Lebanon, the Gaza Strip and Yemen because of the escalating conflict in the region. The advisory also recommends postponing trips to the West Bank‑controlled Palestinian territories, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, while noting that air connections remain open.

Travelers already in the area are instructed to follow local embassy updates, avoid large crowds, protests and the photographing of military installations, and refrain from posting related images or videos on social media, as such actions could lead to detention under local laws. The ministry also advises checking travel documents for at least six‑month validity and contacting airlines for any flight cancellations or re‑bookings.
