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.

A real בושה
Will they be required to quarantine?
why would they?
chilonim and leftists cant spread the disease.
its only chareidim at levayos and in cheider that spread disease.
balfour protests and goyim from chutz laaretz dont do any harm.

This entire fiasco is a total disgrace and mismanagement. Rather than limiting capacity like Australia has done for many months, they run sporadic flights where one simply needs to be lucky enough to book before all seats are grabbed. Smallest glitch and the seat is lost (I've seen that happen).
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

They’re flying cargo while waiting/hoping for permission to carry passengers.

What exactly is the difference? In effect they both limit capacity. Australia allows the airlines to charge as much as they want, so the limited capacity goes to the highest bidders and there are hundreds of thousands of people waiting to go back. Israel limits the airline prices so it goes to whoever is lucky enough to snatch it as opposed to whoever has $$$

There are several differences. Australia has flights scheduled way in advance, not just last moment. They also seem to have a more orderly process to gain exit permits and entering doesn’t require special permits for people who live there or Australian citizens. I also don’t believe that they’re restricting based on destinations (though airlines are making their own calcifications of which routes to operate).
