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.

https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/bibi-and-the-180-iq/

Quote
The origin of this stems from a 1999 Michael Hirsh article about Ehud Barak describing him as someone with an IQ of 180. This was not a statement of fact, but a mere way of describing Barak as a smart person. Somehow this morphed into a ‘confirmed internet fact’ that (Ehud’s political rival at the time) Bibi has an IQ of 180.

I think we've veered of course here. This is not a politics thread. (No this is not a political statement.)

Apparently it's a legal mess/hot potato which is why it hasn't been implemented up until now.

https://www.globes.co.il/news/article.aspx?did=1001357467

To summarize: the issues stem from the fact that a person can't be forced to undergo an invasive test. Therefore the question arises as to what happens to those that won't. With many branches and offshoots of that scenario.

Green passports don't exist yet. The project hasn't been finalized yet.

However there are certificates of vaccination being given to those who received the 2 shots.. They didn't provide details yet
