Israel’s NSC Warns Citizens Abroad Ahead of Global “Day of Rage” on April 22

Potential Violence Feared as Worldwide Pro-Palestinian Protests Planned; Israelis Advised to Stay Alert and Prioritize Safety

Jerusalem – The National Security Council (NSC) has issued a safety alert to Israeli citizens traveling or residing abroad, urging heightened caution ahead of a global “Day of Rage” scheduled for Tuesday, April 22, 2025.

Organized by pro-Palestinian groups, this worldwide campaign calls for mass demonstrations, disruptions, and protest events across multiple countries. The NSC warns that while many of these protests are planned as peaceful, there is a real concern that they could escalate into violence, particularly targeting Israelis.

The alert also highlights the risk of lone-wolf attacks or extremist supporters potentially using the chaos of public protests as cover to carry out assaults.

According to the NSC, there has been a notable rise in extremist activity and violent rhetoric globally, especially after the Swords of Iron conflict.

Travel Safety Guidelines Issued by NSC:

  • In case of any emergency or distress abroad, Israeli citizens should immediately contact local law enforcement.

  • Travelers are urged to keep contact information for local emergency services and the nearest Israeli embassy or consulate readily accessible.

The NSC emphasizes that awareness and preparedness are essential for safety during this potentially volatile period.
