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've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

I'm told that I could get it done at the airport? But supposedly I can't check into flight without negative PCR

u get the results in time for the flight
check in in tlv is only after u show desk agent ur pcr, even if u upload it online

its either a pcr or a pdf, whichever works for u  ;)

You can go to the airport to get a PCR test. I did a drive through at Check2Fly.co.il a day or two prior to departure.

I was in israel 2 months ago and made a antibody test and was able to leave quarantine thru it (was still in the time when antibody helped)

Question if I go now to israel is there a way for me to not need to be in israel for 7 days?

TIA for your help

Last time I was there they only officially allowed you to schedule 7 hours before flight. I guess you are speaking from experience what works

What's link for rapid PCR at BG? Is this only at terminal 1?
For the PCR you need to go to check2fly at Terminal 1. You don't really need an appointment. There is a slow (12 hours to get results) version for 40 ISL or a fast one (4 hours return) for approx. 120 ISL.
I went there 2 days before my flight and got the slow PCR. They automatically send it to Health Ministry so I don't think you need to upload it anywhere.
You need to show that you are leaving within 3 days in order to take the PCR

They didn't let you into the Machpela? I went in with my NYS vaccination card

After all, isn't that part of the "Israel" experience (kombinot, shtickim, trickim, etc.)? If not for that, you might just as well go to Africa.
