Under the Israeli COVID-19 Entry Restrictions, entry to Israel is banned for foreign nationals visiting a red country in the last 14 days before arrival in Israel.
Non-Israelis who visited a red country in the last 14 days, will be denied entry to Israel unless they petition the Exceptions Committee successfully. In such cases, the isolation will be needed to be done at State COVID-19 designated motels.
The move could reduce international travel by making it increasingly difficult to plan trips in advance.
