"The guidance was issued out of “an abundance of caution” after meetings and calls through the night, including conversations with the State Department, Huckabee said in the email," NBC News noted and added:
"He also urged anyone intending to leave to go ahead and book flights, citing the likely surge in demand out of Israel after the embassy's move."
