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.

We currently have no legal avenues to enter Israel. Would it be unwise to bet on them opening for vaccinated tourists by July?

Hard to answer that question without knowing what you are wagering on that bet.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Who did they use? Cost?
500 ILS/test

I don't think he's getting results on time for a flight tonight from them.

Photoshop lab would be fastest, otherwise maybe something private, but it will probably cost a nice fortune to get it that fast.

You're actually suggesting on a public forum to fake test results?

As a heads up, I know multiple people that have done Serology test through Hatzolah and been out of biddud within 6-8 hours.
Can you please share contact information?

Call the Meuhedet hotline, who will request a callback from the IT people, who will ask you to email a copy of the passport to meida@meuhedet.co.il.

It may take a few tries, but once it works you can download an official vaccination certificate (with a barcode) from the Meuhedet site and after a weeks also a standard Tav Yarok on the MoH website

Any idea how to do this with Clalit?  They are insistent that they cannot add a foreign passport number to the record.

Any confirmation that this is implemented in practice and that airlines know the new rules? They are not yet in NOTAM or with any official word.

At the present time the Ichud and Chaim V'Chessed are advising to only fly Elal if you wish to use this new rules, as they are the only airline fully aware of the new rule.
