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.

Maybe sniffing dogs?
Not a chance that the Israeli gov't would actually do something that you think makes sense

Isn't that called PCR testing?
Perhaps it's translated from ריצוף גנטי which is the Hebrew term for sequencing and how you address the concern of variants discussed.

Another very interesting development that I haven't seen discussed.

A close relative of mine who has been to Israel in the past year and got an ishur machlim then to get out of bidud, is going again today and filed the form for bidud ahead of travel. It officially says on the sheet from MoH that the bidud ends the next day.

This is great news!

We have enough anecdotes for a case that they are recognizing foreign vaccinated and recovered, along with an Israeli serological test.

What about foreigners who are coming to Israel for the first time since the pandemic started. Can they be recognized as mahlim based on serology?

This only tells us about ishurim given previously. Nothing about new ones.
On an unrelated note, I applied for an exemption for a PCR for my infants since I can’t find a place that will test infants with -72hr results. Got the ishur within an hour!

IINM you didn't mention if people had previously received a tehudat mahlim, or if it's their first time in Israel.

Ok good to know!
So long story short it took them 10 days to cancel Bidud, and on the 10th day they proactively gave you a tav yarok and tehudat mahlim?

When you arrive at TLV and you suppose to quarantine how do you get to your destination? Can you take the train or sherut?

Anyone has a Golan SIM card for rent for 2 weeks?

I've been using https://www.globusim.com/

It's cheap for a month, and you can get the same number next time

Some stores might stock it
