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.

I was just informed that a family member who contracted COVID-19 while visiting the US was sent to 10 day quarantine despite presenting a Positive and Negative PCR test!

Is this the current SOP? Are there any exceptions?
I thought they aren't excepting foreign tests, so that would be expected

Apparently, as of now they are accepting foreign tests along with an Israeli antibody test.

So he should go get an antibody test in order to get out of bidud. Did they tell him that won't work?
And I'm not sure that they are accepting a foreign test + the antibody test, as much as they are just accepting the antibody test, no?

How do they get out of bidud to go do the test? Looks like they need to fill out that form and get permission?

Apparently one is permitted to go out of bidud for testing purposes (as long as they don't use public transportation, and take the shortest possible route).

You mean he tested positive on his way back to Israel?
Then isn't it obvious that he has to go into quarantine?

No. I mean he got sick with COVID-19 while he was visiting the US. Tested negative prior to flying. He wouldn't have been able to board a flight back without a negative test within 72 hours.

It can’t happen in Israel without protektsia and kombinot :D

Seems like the kombinot part is right there in plain view, just as noted:

Apparently one is permitted to go out of bidud for testing purposes (as long as they don't use public transportation, and take the shortest possible route).

Forget about startup nation. It is Kombinot nation!

If you don't then it is a disingenuous leading question. Yes I made an assumption that you were asking the question in good faith, but it seems that I was very wrong about it and I should never assume you say things in good faith.
So your assumptions are justified based on some silly elimination process. Lol.

MoH has been brainstorming  :o

https://www.timesofisrael.com/transportation-ministry-seeks-to-restrict-international-travel-for-unvaccinated/

Some of the ideas is to have seperate flights for the vaccinated and the non-vaccinated.. and track phones of those who don't want to go into motel quarantine  ::)
