Due to the ongoing conflict and heightened tensions in the Middle East, we do not provide any cover for travel to or within Israel. This exclusion applies regardless of the purpose of travel or planned itinerary.
“In principle” advice regarding likely policy response to claims is provided below.
Coverage Clarification:
- Section 1 Coverage:
- Coverage under Section 1 may apply to cancelled or curtailed travel arrangements, provided that they meet our predefined criteria for eligible events.
- This coverage does not extend to any events connected to hostilities, such as travel delays or evacuation due to escalated hostilities.
- Medical and Other Claims:
- Claims for medical expenses or other claims unrelated to the hostilities will be assessed as usual.
Our Emergency Assistance team will continue to provide non-financial support to policyholders impacted by hostilities and assist with medical or other claims unrelated to the current hostilities.
We suggest all travellers remain up to date with the latest advice from Smartraveller.
