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.

according to Haaretz it could be announced as early as Tuesday

https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/israel-may-extend-its-omicron-travel-ban-to-u-s-as-early-as-tuesday-1.10475690

"the omicron variant spreads rapidly across the United States, expectations are growing that the country will soon be declared “red” by Israel, severely limiting travel between the two countries as early as Tuesday. "

Im guessing it would not be implemented on Tuesday as that wouldnt give enough time for people to make arrangements- just announced as early as Tuesday.

Does this mean that dual us/ Israel citizens can’t leave Israel to go back to the states or they need special permission or they can fly but not return?

Based on past experience special permission needed. But rules change twice or three times per day and there's no one to talk to. 

They might come up again with the ridiculous commitment not to return for six months, which was an unenforceable joke (would have been struck down by the court in no time).
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

My friend, who has a visa and Israeli  green pass keeps getting this message when trying to get entry permit.

Not entitled to board the plane except holders of special permits, residents and visa holders, conditional on presenting appropriate documentation upon boarding the aircraft. Boarding permitted only to holders of special permits, residents, and visa holders (type A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, B1, B3, B4), conditional on presenting appropriate documentation.

Green Pass ineligibility.


Anyone know how to help him?

He doesn't need to do anything, as long as he's vaxxed/recovered he can show up with the entry form and visa for his flight.

Which entry form? When he tries to fill out the decleration to get the entry form, he gets the above message
