Link to form that needs to be filled out within 48 hours of flight to Israel

Accordingly, the FINAL criteria For entering Israel are as follows - you must meet ONE of these conditions in order to enter Israel:

1. Vaccinated within 180 days of the trip with either a second vaccine or a booster and it must be at least 14 days after the shot.

2. Recovered within 180 days of the trip with DIGITAL proof of a positive PCR result and more than 11 days have passed since the positive result. This type of proof only exists in the EU. The UK will likely have it as well.

3. Recovered anytime – even more than 180 days before the trip - with DIGITAL proof of positive PCR result AND vaccinated with at least one dose within 180 days of the trip. Again at the moment the digital proof only exists in the EU and possibly the UK shortly.

Your vaccination or recovery CANNOT expire while in Israel, which means you may not be in Israel more than 180 days after your vaccine or recovery have expired.

CONSEQUENCES FOR VIOLATING THE TERMS OF ENTRY: VIOLATION OF ANY OF THE ABOVE CRITERIA CAN MEAN SANCTIONS INCLUDING BARRING YOUR ENTRY TO ISRAEL FOR 5 YEARS.

All countries have already been assigned to this color scheme and now various countries will be changing colors. It was announced earlier that the United States and several other countries would join the Orange List on August 11. Now, the Ministry of Health has announced that many more countries will turn Orange on Monday, August 16. Furthermore, government officials now claim to Chaim V’Chessed that the US and other countries will only be added to the Orange list on August 16.
Are all of the 8/16 changes cancelled?
Any other confirmation of what's going on?

On the official website it's still not changed.

Honestly, like it really matters. What percentage of people are actually keeping 7-day bidud? It only matters for freiers like me and for modox yeshivos that will follow the rules

It matters mostly for people that want to come for a couple of days and don't want to, or can't afford to, stay for a full week.

I'm glad to read I'm not the only freirer
It's definitely frustrating and annoying

Which part? Being a "freier" or thinking your the only one?

Well they are both about your perspective. You can decide whether acting like you are is considered being a "freier" or the right thing to do. It's totally up to you. You can then decide how you want to continue acting.

And seeing what others do, shouldn't bother you one bit, if you're convinced you're doing the right thing. (You can also rest assured that you're never the only one, as the old saying goes: פראיירים לא מתים, הם רק מתחלפים)

I believe I'm doing that right thing. But it only works out if everyone abides by the same rules.

Going into bidud with small kids is a huge headache - i am happy to do it because I believe it's the right thing to do. But knowing that thousands of people couldn't care less about it and are wondering around freely bothers me

Is this legit?

Yes, it would ban Israelis from going to the US
