you need to renew your passport- there is a same day place in the city. Or you can pay a company to do it for you but will be significantly more expensive.

Can one travel to Israel within 6 months of the expiration of their US passport?

Is this an Israeli law or advisory?
what happens practically have people done it recently?

Now that it's hard to renew passports this is important to know data points.

Israel doesn't care. YMMV with the airline.

Will Israel care when entering?

Its county you are visiting or the country that you are a citizen of that enforces this?

very confusing Israeli Consulate does not seem sure about this just emailing back and forth going nowhere

I think if I am visiting Israel as a US citizen my less than 6 months validity on my US passport would be only a concern to Israel the country I am vising?

United via chat said should be no problem as long as my intended stay is within the valid US passport dates etc...

So I am not sure who would give me an issue if anybody at all?
