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.

Still confusing.
Should just come out and say that US recovery certificates aren't accepted.
It doesn't say that antigen within 24 hours is acceptable.
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.

How does Israel count days of quarantine? If you arrive Monday  afternoon and need 7 days, you could take a test Sunday morning and be out?

With the current rules, does an Israeli Citizen who lives in Israel need the 3rd booster shot to travel to the US and then back to Israel again?  Will she need to quarantine when she gets back to Israel because she hasn't had the booster? She had the first 2 more than 6 months ago

Also, to get into the USA, is a positive covid test within 90 enough instead of a current covid test good to fly?

I know that folks are recommending the proctored emed Binax Now tests to get back into the US from Israel. Are they also good enough to get into Israel from the US?

What happens when someone tests positive upon landing in IL? Home quarantine I believe, but is it 7 or 14 days?

Believe it’s currently 10 days and likely moving to 7 days in the very near future…

Can anyone confirm facts on the ground? Are they checking vax certificates to see if you’re within 6 months?

my grandson tested Positive at landing, and we received no communication (other then the results from the lab) from any government office.
and we departed the 8th day.
Officially we were supposed to be quarantine for 14 days
