The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade has updated its advice over Israel saying New Zealanders there should consider leaving when it is safe to do so.
A spokesperson says MFAT has also raised the travel advice for Israel to 'do not travel'.
The spokesperson says while the advice is for all New Zealanders to leave, continued airspace closures and flight cancellations may mean this is not possible for a number of days.
The strikes between Israel and Iran have continued and Iran has confirmed that several senior military leaders have been killed.
The BBC's Middle East analyst, editor and reporter Sebastian Usher is in Jerusalem.
