travel.state.gov Syria travel alert
things are heating up not cooling down
Jerusalem with backup plans would be fine
Syria with current instability very unwise for me.
I have been here since Mar. 10th and all is well other than massive traffic jams from pro-govt supporters. The situation is always changing but I feel no threat and have no plans to leave before apr. 6th unless problems start here also You should watch the news and travel warnings carefully before deciding to travel here however.
You will have to decide...it is volatile for sure...Assad buying some time but there is just no knowing where it is going. I want my planning and actual trip to be fun not stressful so personally I would not go now.
