The United States will charter flights out of Israel amid the attacks by the terrorist group Hamas, announced the White House on Oct. 12.

“We are all acutely aware of limited availability right now on commercial flights out of Israel and the demand signal of U.S. citizens who may want to depart. The president has asked his team to ensure we are assisting U.S. citizens who do want to leave Israel in providing them with a safe means of doing that,” National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby told reporters.
