In the midst of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, Project Dynamo CEO Bryan Stern has shed light on the dire situation faced by hundreds of American citizens who are currently stuck in Israel. Appearing on FOX Business Network’s “Cavuto: Coast to Coast,” Stern emphasized the urgent need for assistance in evacuating these individuals and highlighted the efforts being made by his organization to provide support.
According to Stern, the situation in Israel is increasingly precarious, with carriers gradually suspending their services and leaving Americans stranded. The impending closure of airspace further exacerbates the urgency of the situation. Project Dynamo, a team of U.S. military veterans experienced in evacuating American citizens from war zones, has deployed to Israel to aid in the rescue efforts.
Stern highlighted how Project Dynamo has previously operated in similar scenarios, such as Afghanistan, Ukraine, and Sudan, where American citizens were left behind amidst chaos. He expressed concern over the recurring pattern of the U.S. government failing to evacuate its citizens in times of crisis. Despite the challenges, Stern emphasized the non-political nature of the issue, asserting that stranded Americans simply seek assistance in times of distress.
To address the critical need for evacuation, the White House National Security Council has announced plans to arrange charter flights for Americans to leave Israel starting from Friday, with destinations in Europe. The exact number of available flights remains uncertain at this time. Furthermore, alternative options, including land and sea routes, are being explored to expand the capacity for evacuation.
Project Dynamo, which relies on donations, is actively seeking funding to finance flights out of Israel. Stern urged individuals to visit ProjectDynamo.org to contribute to the cause. Should the airspace close, the organization plans to utilize boats to facilitate the evacuation process.
As the conflict between Israel and Hamas intensifies, the plight of stranded American citizens in Israel becomes increasingly urgent. The efforts of organizations like Project Dynamo, alongside the support of the U.S. government, are crucial in ensuring the safe return of Americans caught in the crossfire.
