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.

The new ruling means that fully vaccinated tourists (or recovered by EDUC standards)  will be eligible to enter Israel from anywhere in the world, beginning Sunday, January 9. This means that passengers must have received 3 vaccines, or received their second vaccine in the past 180 days. More than 14 days must have elapsed since their last vaccine.

Now that the US categorized as orange.
Will a foreign US vaccination card get you out of isolation after 24 hours or will this form vaccination not qualify and require a 7-day isolation?

Is this a reaction to the court challenge and the court’s ruling for the government to respond within 7 days? Or just more or the regular erratic dysfunction?

Likely both but hard to tell.
Several ministries have been vocal for a while that the whole red countries definition is pointless once omicron has become dominant locally.
Supreme Court likely just rushed the outcome a bit, IMHO

Will Passengers leaving Motzei Shabbos from EWR be allowed on the plane? What about Sun? Are the rules changing Midnight Sun/Mon? or The airline will be updated earlier?

They have been saying for a while that once the number of incoming cases is statistically insignificant compared to local transmission, there will no longer be a point to trying to keep it out.

Israel entry form not yet updated for foreign nationals after policy change
https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-691859

Start up nation!

Why can't they just repost the form that they had up 2 months ago?

If someone tested positive 2 weeks ago (and still tests positive upon landing in TLV) - what are the steps to get released from quarantine? Do they have to serve the full 7 days even though they are well past their contagious stage?

They will be sent to bidud and will need to deal with the MOH to get released.  They will ask to see documentation and YMWV from there.

Should be allowed, but wouldn't be surprised if there are problems.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Including, and not limited to Israeli government rule changes, which can be one thing when boarding, and something else when landing.
