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.

Birchas Kohanim, doesn't bring people from around the world. Lag Be'omer does. Besides the fact that Kosel is a pride to them, Miron not that much.
Less than 1% of people in Meron are from outside Israel. They can check people for green passports and set up a capsule system. Meron is definitely happening this year, and the border might be open by then.

URGENT! Is there anywhere close to Ben Gurion that is open now to get a Covid test with immediate results that can be printed out. No smartphone and flight's in 6 hours. Have a Macabbi test that can't be accessed. Everything's closed.

He is supposedly in B'nei Braq so probably not an issue. I just don't know if he is still doing it or his fastest capabilities.  But he should be an excellent information source to find out if there is any way to do it on such a short time line-if you can reach him.

If you can't reach him, Laufer VIP does offer VIP testing at the airport, but again I don't know the turnaround time.
Their number is 08-914-5100

fully aware, but they have come through for me on an unrelated matter in an incredible pinch before so it is worth asking.

Itzik Benjamin +972-54-797-9203 recommended calling Maayanei Hayeshua. But in the interim we got the doctor to go into his office and print the results and whatsapp it to a VERY NICE frum lady in the airport!!

It's great news. Clalit covers half of Israelis


@ExGingi’s dreams come true
I think the ultimate dream is to have vaccination for all Israelis, including those who don't have kupat holim. But solid first step  :)

Not really. Doesn't make any difference to me (or for the person I was inquiring for) at this point.

However, it is important news for Israeli citizens coming for a visit. Harel now sells temporary visitor plans that include a Clalit membership card.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

They're allowed to use it for anybody in Israel, so charging a convenience fee for administering it shouldn't be considered reselling, provided they manage the PR in a way that it doesn't look like a scheme to cut the line for people abroad.
