Israel Warns Travelers as Violent Anti-Government Protests Rock Albania Israel's Foreign Ministry has issued a travel advisory following days of violent protests in Albania's capital, Tirana, and other cities. The unrest is fueled by growing frustration with Prime Minister Edi Rama's government over alleged corruption, rising living costs, education costs, and economic conditions. What began as demonstrations involving students and young people has developed into a broader anti-government protest movement, with demonstrators demanding Rama's resignation. Protests have escalated into clashes with police, fires, property damage, and roadblocks. Israelis visiting Albania are urged to avoid demonstrations, particularly near government buildings in central Tirana, remain alert, and follow local security instructions. The warning is a precaution against civil unrest, not a response to threats specifically targeting Israelis.
