If the pre-boarding covid test from the USA to Israel is an Israel requirement do you expect them to soon drop this test as well since they have already decided to eliminate the arrival airport covid test? or do the 2 tests have very different parameters and goals?

Don't need vaccine, officially need insurance but not enforced

Dov Lipman claims it will be removed also pre flight. I don't see any other source and don't trust him

Not that it excuses the headline, because the article is talking about post flight, but this from the igud hayeshivos folks

Thanks. Now we just need the us to drop testing on the return

[njmacman]

So is that for non-citizens also? Are we exempt from preflight testing when flying usa to israel? Their article talks about some testing but the headline says no. Sorry but I am confused!
