Note post 36, they were there to plan an upcoming joint exercise. I presume that's been postponed or canceled, their Israeli counterparts are getting plenty of exercise. Jerusalem Post coverage here

“These people from throughout the department were in Israel for a routine planning event [dealing with an upcoming military exercise]”

Yeah, that’s WAY different from headline text.

Right-leaning media suffers from clickbait/inflammatory headlines too.

BTW they didn’t pull all US troops. Still have Marines at the Embassy, they’re the only combat troops there, not many others there.
