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.

What documents would my brother need to have with him for us to get permission to enter? He lives in Jerusalem.
Same documents you would require when applying via the consulate. Your birth certificate, his birth certificate, proof of travel plans, proof of insurance, etc.

One other development is that you can go in person to משרד האוכלוסין in Yersualayim (only)(Queen Shlomziyon St 1, Jerusalem, 9414601, Israel) and they will give you an ishur in person for entry of eligible individuals. Apparently the process is very quick, people are in and out in 20 minutes. From 8 to 10 you can come without appointment, after 10, by appointment only
Good DP, Thanks! Wonder how they'd react to a foreigner requesting a permit for a second entrance...

On consulates website it says "Foreigners who leave Israel before the end of the quarantine period, without a special approval from the Israeli authorities, violate the laws of the State of Israel and their next entry will not be approved"
Anyone know if they will accept application for a trip less than 14 days?

Of course, as you can test out.

Applying now for entry but not 100% sure where I am going to stay. Can I give them an address now and change it if need be?

YMMV (the first M is for Morals)

They are literally saying we won't allow you to do it legitimately (BTW, if my flight was a little earlier, the test I took upon arrival should be good enough).
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

https://www.gov.il/en/departments/news/border_closing_coronavirus_14062020 - Makes no mention of 2 weeks prior to the flight....

https://embassies.gov.il/new-york/ConsularServices/Pages/COVID19PERMITS.aspx - says only 2 weeks prior to flight......

Has anyone gotten approval for more than 2 weeks prior. Will  משרד האוכלוסין be the best hope?!?!?

Aside from an ishur and a green passport, what does a student (family) need to get into Israel? Do you need proof that you filled out a health declaration form online within 24 hours of your flight?

I relative of mine is flying tomorrow morning and just said that they filled out the health declaration form but didn't get anything to show to the airline, it just said 'your form has been received'. Anything to worry about?

Not familiar with such a quote. Maybe you meant המתאבק עם מנוול – מתנוול גם כן

Which means something else than what you seem to imply.

You need to show the airline the form by check-in.
