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.

Wednesday at midnight. As of now Belgium was excluded (we can assume some government official has some trip to Belgium coming up...)

UK and Denmark got one day reprieve:

*שר הבריאות, ניצן הורביץ, ושרת הפנים, איילת שקד, סיכמו כי ההחלטה להכריז על מדינות בריטניה ודנמרק כמדינות אדומות תדחה ביממה ליום 17/12/2021 בחצות (בלילה שבין חמישי לשישי).*

ההחלטה לדחות ביממה נועדה לאפשר לציבור זמן הערכות נוסף, לרבות גם בטיסות חזרה לישראל, בטרם תיכנס ההחלטה לתוקפה.

For an El Al flight departing motsei Shabbat from TLV to NYC, is the only option to get tested motsei Shabbat?

Any suggestion for best place to do it? Tel Aviv / Petach Tikvah area.

Edit:
United Hatzolah has a testing center in Airport City (near TLV) where they do antigen test, result within 30min. Price is 49NIS. Open from 1h after Shabbat ends until MN. Source: https://chaimvchessed.com/information/corona/corona-testing/

I thought they were open 24/6, worth checking with them.

@Dan Without getting into covid theater, how much these tests make sense, etc, can we get put an end to people actively suggesting forging of forms, especially inbound to the US which will put people at risk of violating 18 USC 1001..  It comes up a lot here.

Can anyone imagine Israel ever doing something logical like this?
They claim they will but I doubt it.


If you don't live here , you don't realize how much of COVID is a non issue, precisely because there just isn't that much here, as opposed to everyone is infected/live and let live.. So they'd like to keep that going for as long as possible. That's the rationale, anyway
