White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, released a quote from Trump who says "“Based on the fact that there’s a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks."
Meanwhile, some 2,400 stranded Israelis are on their way to Israel aboard a cruise ship that has departed from Cyprus’ main Limassol port Thursday.
They had reached Cyprus after their Israeli-bound passenger aircraft was diverted to the island at the onset of a missile exchange between Israel and Iran last week. Many others stranded in other countries came to Cyprus, the closest European nation to Israel, in hopes of catching a flight or a boat trip back to Israel.
Cyprus’ chief Rabbi Arie Zeev Raskin says approximately 6,500 Israelis were in Cyprus which has become a key transit point for foreign nationals fleeing Israel and many Israelis who want to go back home.
