I am sure all of the bachurim who were stuck without entry permits will feel like this.
When were the entry permits stopped?  Wasn't it after rosh chodesh?  So most of the yeshiva guys were already back in EY.  Not all, but most.

And what about university students that may not have been going back until after last week's national holidays?

From the reports here those means are not simple at all
Anybody with a true emergency got in in a blink of an eye. I was personally involved in several cases. (No, a father in law's levaya is not an 'emergency')

It's terrible that the outcome was damaging to Avreichim and to the chashuva askonim (Chaim vachesed etc) who work so hard on behalf of the Yungerleit.

I am not a fan of CV but the insinuation is revolting.

An American citizen who made Aliyah, with Israeli wife and kids waiting in the airport was sent back to US. He had an ishur.

And the grounds for that were?

If he "made aliyah" and was an Israeli citizen, it is hard to believe that they did not let him into the country.

There's a story going around social media about the husband of a popular cookbook author who's been living in Israel for a while getting turned back (with an ishur).

Don’t glean anything from that story. He is very much the exception.

I have yet to ascertain what is going on here, I'll follow up once I have more info.
I've asked around a little, doesn't seem like anyone is providing more details. Not sure why

One other development is that you can go in person to משרד האוכלוסין in Yersualayim (only)(Queen Shlomziyon St 1, Jerusalem, 9414601, Israel) and they will give you an ishur in person for entry of eligible individuals. Apparently the process is very quick, people are in and out in 20 minutes. From 8 to 10 you can come without appointment, after 10, by appointment only

Guess that's the same story. I heard it from a family member.
