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.

My understanding is you are not allowed to leave your room

@PlatinumGuy any recommendations about how he can get to the wedding?  ;)
R Gershon Edelstein told a friend of mine to push off a wedding if it can't be held 'Besimcha'.

It may need to be pushed for more than a week for halachic reasons though.

I'm sure the hotel authorities will accommodate some form of appropriately distanced visitation if the wedding does go ahead.

Close family of mine just got in on the Israir flight, no idea if they had the special permit, seems unlikely to me. One is vaccinated one not, will report on hotel situation tomorrow.

How does one get onto those one-off flights.

I have a client that was in an accident in NYC and needs to be flown back to TLV, the insurance company can't find commercial flights to put him on in business class. Looking for leads that I can forward to the insurance company.

Would there be any way to get him transported by ambulance from AMM across the border? If yes how does one pull this off?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

I didn't think I would need a source when I write IMHO

The MoH has been pretty consistent in treating vaccinated and recovered people the same way when it comes to the tav yarok. Not it's not official AFAIK, hence IMHO

Apparently it's not a problem to get on these flights without a permit. Quarantine hotels (unless one has recovered or has been vaccinated) seem unavoidable.

Heading towards (at least) 2 additional weeks of airport closures but the government will likely approve repatriation flights to/from the US and Dubai

Will get cancelled imho
But likely to be replaced by repatriation flights, which haven't been announced yet
