The current state of COVID-19 in Israel

[zh cohen]

I did hear from afew sources that Rabbi Twerski took the covid vaccine, & was niftar afew days later. If anyone has a statement disproving that, please share.

Mishpacha magazine -

Three weeks ago Rabbi Avraham Twerski moved out of his Jerusalem home when his wife contracted COVID-19. But when he tested positive one week later...

In other words, we know where he got Covid from and it wasn't the vaccine.

Got my second shot today, workers at the vaccination place the rate of people coming in has slowed to a trickle. Seems the majority of people who want the vaccine have already taken it. Now its time to "convince" the others to take it.

Yes, just use your US passport to leave.

Are there flights? How do they travel?

How can a dual Israeli American travel from Israel to the US this week? Are there any flights? Should he go to Jordan, and if so, how? (And is it safe?)

To be clear:
If you arrive for the Israir flight with a US passport, they won't ask for you to prove that you have special permission to fly?

So someone who lives in Israel permanently, is a dual US Israeli citizen, and would like to fly to the US for a child's simcha, and doesn't want to certify anything false, would not be authorized to fly?
Is there any other solution?

Maybe if you can convince someone that it is:
