The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that the evacuation will take place at around 5pm Taiwan time today, due to security issues.

However, Deputy Foreign Minister Li Chun stated that the decision to evacuate overseas Chinese was made by the frontline embassy in accordance with changes in the local situation. This comes after Kuomintang legislator Chen Yixin complained that Wu Zhaoxie had no plans to evacuate, but the Ministry of foreign affairs changed its stance after he was scolded.

(Central News Agency reporter Lin Jingyin, Taipei, 20th) Tensions between Israel and Palestine continue to rise. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday announced the launch of the evacuation operation. In response to a question from the legislator today, Deputy Foreign Minister Li Chun confirmed that the evacuation will be carried out at around 5 pm Taiwan time today. Due to security issues, the exact time should not be announced to the public.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday announced the launch of a special flight operation to evacuate Israeli citizens. The special flight is scheduled to take off from Tel Aviv Airport at noon on the 20th and arrive at Rome International Airport (FCO) in Italy in the afternoon of the same day.
Executive President Chen Jianren led the heads of various ministries to the Legislative Yuan today to deliver the policy address and prepare for questions. Foreign Minister Joseph Wu did not attend and was represented by Li Chun. The outside world interpreted it as related to the handling of the evacuation of overseas Chinese.
Kuomintang legislator Chen Yixin said that when Wu Zhaoxie submitted an inquiry to the Legislative Yuan on the 18th, he said that he had no plan. After being scolded by the legislator, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs changed its attitude and announced the evacuation of overseas Chinese yesterday.
Chen Jianren said that the war situation is changing rapidly, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has contacted 147 local expatriates. When contacted for the first time, the expatriates expressed their willingness to stay.
Li Chun said that the decision to evacuate overseas Chinese has nothing to do with the Legislative Yuan’s inquiry. The decision is made by the frontline embassy in accordance with changes in the local situation. The time will be around 5 pm Taiwan time today. The exact time is not suitable to be announced to the public because Security issues are involved.
But Chen Yixin still had doubts. The minister prepared the inquiry the day before yesterday and changed his tune yesterday. “Then you said the changes in the past three days were different.” Li Chun said, “The changes are in Gaza, not Taiwan.” This matter has nothing to do with the question. The bombing of a Gaza hospital caused 500 casualties and had a great impact.
Chen Yixin is also concerned about the evacuation of overseas Chinese, so why is the travel warning still orange? Li Chun responded that most advanced countries maintain the level of orange. According to the warning classification, evacuation of overseas Chinese can be carried out depending on the situation.
Chen Yixin asked, if there is no war, many other places are red. Why is Israel orange? Will it be changed to red tomorrow after talking about it today? Chen Jianren said that there are many factors in the travel warning. Some African countries have insufficient public security and national stability, so they remind Chinese people to be particularly careful.
Li Chun said that not all of Israel is affected by the situation. Some areas are orange and the Gaza Strip is red.
As for Chen Yixin’s request for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to review the travel alert every day, Li Chun said that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been conducting dynamic reviews. (Editor: Zhai Sijia) 1121020
