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.

@ExGingi looks like Greece is promoting something similar




Greek PM is in Israel? Couldn't he meet with Netanyahu via Zoom? Not good enough for photo ops?

Question is if they’ll actually require an ishur to book?

To book for sure not. They don't check anything until you get to the airport

How is UA selling seats on UA 91 tomorrow night?
Will likely get cancelled
UA 91: Your upcoming United flight to Newark has been canceled because of new travel restrictions issued by the Israeli government. For travel assistance, please visit United.com or the United app. We apologize for this travel disruption and we appreciate your patience.

Does anyone know why United is not letting Americans onto flights they hold tickets for and are traveling empty to EWR. Instead passengers have to pay extra for an ELAL emergency flight that's packed.

Bureaucracy? UA Probably didn’t negotiate rights to carry passengers to Israel.

Israel isn't giving them the rights.
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.

The three relationships are unrelated.
1. Americans in Israel - Israel is letting them leave
2. United and Israel - Airport is closed but Israel is giving United special permission to fly to carry cargo (and passengers from the US?)
3. United and ticketed passengers - United is operating the flight but they’re not allowed to carry those ticketed passengers, sorry.

They're using an empty passenger plane for cargo.

Crazy.
Agreed. And also terribly unfair to United, which has been flying non stop for the past years, at times when LY was fully closed
