Travel Advisory and UAE’s Role in the Investigation
The statement also emphasized existing safety concerns in the region.
“This also serves as a reminder that for a while, per the recommendations of the NSC, there has been a level 3 – moderate travel warning issued for the UAE, with a recommendation to avoid any non-essential travel there, and for those who are in the country – take extra precautions.”
