Prime Minister Donald Tusk appealed on 4 March 2026 to Poles to refrain, where possible, from travelling to the Middle East. He said that people who decide to travel to countries in the region today may tomorrow expect assistance from the Polish state with evacuation. He stressed that he is repeating the appeal to everyone planning trips, including for tourism. He noted that as security deteriorates, organising evacuations becomes more difficult. He said decisions to travel to the region can quickly turn into the need to arrange consular support and return transport.
The prime minister’s appeal came as Polish services were carrying out measures linked to the departure of some citizens from areas affected by tensions. The government said it is monitoring the security situation in the region and coordinating actions through diplomatic missions. The prime minister called for travel to be limited until the situation in the region stabilises.
