On December 5, The National Security Council (NSC) changed its designated threat levels for traveling to Armenia, the Maldives, and Brazil.

For Armenia, the travel alert was increased from level two (potential threat) to level three (moderate threat level) due to the “heightened terrorist threat” against Israelis and Jews in the country.
