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.

Welcome to Israel
#clownshow

Anyone surprised?

I guess everything has a silver lining. I am glad that I am done with travel to Israel until next summer.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Local transmission among the secular is the highest ever, but you close the border for people coming from places where local transmission is much lower. It makes zero sense.

I went to Israel from the US in May under the first degree relative law. Upon arrival I did an antibody test and received my green pass which says is good until 12/31/21.

If I was to go to Israel again before 12/31/21, do I need to quarantine or do another antibody test upon arrival or does the previous and still active green pass eliminate the quarantine need?

Previous one should work. (Subject to new restrictions mandating quarantine to arrivals from the US regardless of green pass and tests)

dystopian, govt. still convinced after all the previous failures that we can stop a virus  :(
more cynical version; its all ploy for booster shots 3 (and 4, 5, 6, ad infinitum)

That’s my question, will a foreign airport be updated?

FTFY

You are not a בן יחיד. If the website is indeed not working expect a significant percentage of people's booked on the flight to be facing the same issue.

Did you try accessing from a different device or browser?

Does this mean that US citizens entering Israel with a permit are now required to quarantine in a hotel or it is voluntary?



https://corona.health.gov.il/directives/air-travel-covid19-green/#by-air
This paragraph is now gone.
Looks like it was a mistake.
So US citizens traveling after Aug 11 will still be able to exit self quarantine after testing for antibodies in IL?

Have the person you're going to file from Israel as well. Work it both ends.

Have someone apply from the misrad hapnim link too
I used https://govforms.gov.il/mw/forms/ApplicationToEnterIsrael@piba.gov.il#!personalDetails and it seems to work fine. If you're outside of Israel try a VPN?

Thank you. I had someone apply from the misrad hapnim link in Israel. Got the ishur for me & spouse within a few hours.

Now that the rules are changing to require min 7 days, I want to bring my young kids as well. Do we need to reapply from scratch or is there a way request them to just add the kids to our ishur?

I don't actually know but you could try to apply just under their names under the misrad hapnim link, and when you add a file, combine a PDF with a letter in hebrew explaining the situation

it's still there, https://corona.health.gov.il/directives/air-travel-covid19-green/#isolation, and in fact on the bidud letter you get when you enter the country it also mentions it

Yes, you will need to quarantine if you don't change your flight

No.  They may not have to do hotel quarantine but they will not be eligible for release from quarantine with an antibody test.
