The restrictions will apply at this stage until January 31, 2021, and maybe extended for up to a month. The decision prohibits the entry and exit of both foreign and Israeli nationals.
Those wishing to enter or exit Israel will require special permission to be provided on a “humanitarian basis”. Transport Minister Miri Regev clarified this point during today’s Cabinet meeting where she stated: "For the first time, we will not allow Israelis and Jews to immigrate to Israel unless it is a matter of life or death. When the skies are closed, there will be only humanitarian flights made by private planes.”
