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.

Meaning that foreigners are allowed in without any per-approval?  Is there any testing needed?  Quarantine requirements/ Anyone have any firm information on this?  I have family that had been holding out hope against all odds that they'd be able to make their flight to TLV tomorrow...
Here too. For the fun of it, we clicked on the link that United sent, to request an ishur, on Friday afternoon. (BTW that link is still active). Was surprised to get a response 5 hours later, around 6pm ET, denying my request. Thought they don't work on Shabbos, and at 12 am?

a couple weeks ago at R' Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin's Thursday night chovos halvovos shiur (in Jackson, also on zoom) he told how when he was 'in a place they call prison', on erev Yom Kippur, about half an hour before the zman, they said that the entire building was on lockdown, and there was no way in the world he would be able to go to the chapel for Kol Nidrei. He said he knew that this is only from 'ה and not from any of them, so he just went to a quiet place, took out his chovos halvovos and learned shaar habitachon. 15 minutes later they came searching for him to take him to the chapel......

Chaim Vachesed said that a new vaada was created last night, and the application is on their website, click on vaadat charigim on the top of website. The form looks very similar to old form, but it is new.
He said that there is absolutely no chance that they will be opening up to all chutznikim now. Gotta have a good humanitarian or emergency reason, or they will not let...

Seems that the NOTAM against bringing foreigners into Israel has lapsed for the first time in more than a year.
Issued. As stated above, the policy barring foreigners from entering is in force at least until April 5.

Airport border officials staff it. They’re there around the clock. Plenty of true emergencies get handled immediately.

When Israeli citizens who have been double vaccinated want to come to the US now, what do they have to do to get on the plane in Israel and once they arrive in US? Covid pcr, antibodies? Thanks.

Only covid test 72h before the flight.
Doesn't matter if vaccinated or not.

IINM it depends if the country you're headed to requires it, but as far as Israel is concerned you don't need negative PCR if you're vaccinated

Anyone have any tips for navigating the Misrad Habriut ramzor? We have antibodies registered with Macabbi but keep getting an error on the ID page. The passport number is already linked to the Macabbi account.

Additional question: Without a positive Covid test, how high a count of antibodies is necessary for a Tav Yarok?
