“We recommend that Estonian citizens leave Israel while it is still possible. Land border crossings with Egypt and Jordan are currently open,” the ministry wrote in a statement.

“Due to the hostilities that began on February 28, 2026, between Israel, the U.S., and Iran, Israel has closed its airspace indefinitely,” the ministry noted.
