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.

I have a flight today from JFK to Tel Aviv, tested positive this morning for coronavirus 229e, I have antibody test results 79.9. Any advice?

Take another covid-19 test. Maybe you got a false positive. Or better yet 2 more test from 2 different places. The last thing you want is to test positive upon landing in TLV.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Likely a variant. Don't travel.

Just FYI the Israeli authorities are very suspicious of Lag Bomer travelers and if you land with a fever and test positive, it won’t end well at all. They’ve already temporarily suspended most permits since last week and are cracked down on some fraudulent papers.

I am confused - I thought 229e is not Covid-19

Quote
Common human coronaviruses, including types 229E, NL63, OC43, and HKU1, usually cause mild to moderate upper-respiratory tract illnesses, like the common cold. Most people get infected with one or more of these viruses at some point in their lives. This information applies to common human coronaviruses and should not be confused with coronavirus disease 2019 (formerly referred to as 2019 Novel Coronavirus).

Existing permits? or stopped issuing new ones?

All but stopped issuing. Legitimate existing permits are fine

Seems like you're right, but it's still probably wrong to be spreading it to others, if only for the potential inconvenience that they might have due to a positive test and quarantine requirement. If COVID-19 taught us anything, it would be to try to avoid spread, even if the disease isn't life threatening.

I had the consulate respond that I was missing papers.  They said I need an application form and isolation form for everyone.  How do I do this for my kids? They are minors?

Is this for first-degree relative as well or only students?
