The US Embassy in Israel has lifted all restrictions and resumed regular consular services, as the ceasefire between Iran and Israel appears to hold for a second day, Al Jazeera reports.

In a statement posted on the embassy’s website, the US government said “shelter in place orders” for government employees and their family members have also been lifted.

Passport and other consular service appointments are back to normal scheduling, the statement added, while visa operations will resume in both Jerusalem and Tel Aviv on Monday, June 30.

US government employees and their family members, however, are still restricted from travel outside the greater Tel Aviv area, including Herzliya, Netanya, and Even Yehuda, as well as Jerusalem, and Beersheva “until further notice”.
