once they scan your american passport, the israeli one will pop up n the system

[schoemann]

If I go tomorrow to the place of the passports and show them my ticket will they be able to make me a passport right there?

I guess I will have to cancel the ticket

go early and bring something to eat there are always long lines      p.s. if they cant help you i would suggest going to the airport anyway and talking your way through with just the american passport. it has been done before (i didnt know......, i thought.....)etc.............

How about in his case where he doesn't actually have an Israeli one? Will it still pop up?

[schoemann]

I have one that is expired

are you sure? every time i pass through they ask me if i have an israeli one

[MC]

I have an Israeli passport (but wasn't born in Israel) and I flew in and out of Israel twice on an expired passport. (American passport was valid though)
It made for a nerve-wracking airport trip and I don't recommend it, but a nice agent can let you through if you're lucky.

I have one that is expired

How long ago did it expire?

Also do you have problems  with the army?

That's because they updated there data base around 8-10 years(more or less) ago,
 so if you didn't  leave the country  or come in before that time they don't have it linked.

And if you don't have a a israeli  passport  at all, the law is that if your parent/parents are israeli  then you have a status of menditory service  in the army,
So they wanna find out if you are hiding  anything.
I've had a friend  that I was taken  in for a half an hour questioning  to find out if his parents  are israeli. (Btw they were and he passed)

4 years ago
And no problems with the army
