To whom it may concern,

We regret to inform you that due to the Israeli Ministry of Health's recent guidelines, we must cancel the upcoming visit from the Bundeswehr Command and Staff College to Israel. 

In light of recent events, the Israeli Ministry of Health, in compliance with the directives from the World Health Organization, has issued a new guidelines regarding the COVID-19 outbreak. Among these instructions, the ministry has ordered a mandatory isolation period following the return of anyone who has traveled to or from affected countries. The Israeli Ministry of Defense and the IDF, are obliged to comply, as all other government branches and civilians alike. Unfortunately, we will not be able to carry out the activity as planned. We apologize for any inconvenience to you and your staff. We look forward to continued cooperation with you and pursuit of our mutual goals.

Sincerely,
