The update comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East following U.S. and Israeli military action that began on Feb. 28, which prompted several regional countries, such as Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain, to move from Level 2 to Level 3 due to increased security risks.

Many Western European countries, including France, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden and Spain, fall under Level 2, where travelers are advised to exercise increased caution.
Hungary joins countries such as Austria, Slovenia, Poland, Slovakia, Japan, Canada and Australia in the Level 1 group, which is the second‑largest category in the advisory system and reflects the lowest assessed travel risk for U.S. citizens.
