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.

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

Birchas Cohanim is happening at the Kosel with few limits. Corona is almost non existent in Israel. Vaccinated Israelis are being allowed into Greece already and Israeli is establishing a reciprocal arrangement to allow people vaccinated in Greece and other foreign countries.

That's not what the tweet says. In any case, they changed the directive and now everybody needs to present a test.

Where exactly in the airport is Check2Fly for departures? Coming with a taxi.

When I was there it was at the arrivals level. There was only one door open - door 3. Right after entering turn right towards check2fly which is located closer to door 1. Results were sent to me after about 7 hours.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Birchas Kohanim, doesn't bring people from around the world. Lag Be'omer does. Besides the fact that Kosel is a pride to them, Miron not that much.
