Greetings,
The following are current guidelines regarding entry permits to Israel:
A. Israeli citizens with a valid Israeli travel document (passport or Laissez Passer) are allowed to travel to Israel without an entry permit
B. Every Israeli visitor and every foreigner, who has been approved for entry, is required to perform a PCR test within 72 hours prior the time of the flight to Israel.

Travelers who present a vaccination certificate or a formal proof of recovering from COVID-19 will be required to perform a serological test in Israel at a clinic of their choice. A positive result in the serological test (confirming the presence of antibodies) may allow shortening the duration of quarantine
