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.

Bahrain and Israel recognize each other vaccination.
Ashkenazi says similar agreements with other countries will be announced shortly, 'in talks with US, UK and others'..

What is the earliest I can expect to get the Ishur once I have a case number?
They write 7 business days. Did anyone get it faster?

What does an agreement with the US mean with current rules? Would it mean that Americans with an American vaccination record could enter Israel? That would be amazing!

Entering Terminal 3 at TLV they actually ask for Green Pass, or other kind of authorization (vaccination card or whatever else they accept) and verify it against passport.

At pre check-in security they don't only look at your passport and question you, but actually scan your passport. Some people were told to go to Misrad Hapnim at level 2 and come back with something from there.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

I suspect that the people being sent to Misrad Hapnim prior to check-in might be related to this (I didn't see kids, but it might have been adults that have Israeli parents).

Was there anything that needs to be written in the email? In the subject? I sent a blank email with just a pdf attachment around a week ago, and got no response yet...

Can you share how the Ishur looks (of course blocking any private information)?

Just wanted to see if they give you the exact date requested or is it good for a few days??

LAX is now offering a 1 hour PCR test in TBIT. My flight is 1:25, figuring a 10-10:30 PCR leaves me with plenty of time to get through elal check in. Am I right?

I am going in July with my parents to visit my brither who is an Israeli citizen.

For my parents: since their name is on my brother's birth certificate, must we also submit theirs (may be hard to obtain), or good enough since they can prove they are 1st degree relatives with his?

Generally: Is just a picture of the birth certificate ok?  Must it be notarized somehow? The ones from the 1970's aren't exactly very "official" looking- mine looks like a copy as it is!

For health insurance: i got a letter from my insurance stating covid-19 is covered but since it's not a time-limited plan that you purchase, it doesn't have an end date- just says as of today, I am covered. Would this be a problem?

Somewhere I read if the couple whose child lives in israel is traveling together they also need to present THEIR marriage license? True?

Am I stressing this too much?  How picky are they?

Can someone explain the check2fly thing? If everyone gets tested do I need an appointment? And what are the advantages of a speedy vs slow test?
