Israel Lifts Restrictions for International Travel
Good news for those of you wishing to travel to Israel, As of January 9, 2022, vaccinated and recovered non-Israeli tourists from all countries will be granted entrance. All former Red list countries will move to the Orange list, and travelers from those countries will be permitted to enter Israel as well. Additionally, Israeli citizens may travel to all countries as well.
Here at The Friends of Israel, we have been longing to get back to Israel. We’ve all been waiting anxiously for things to open back up again. So, this is all very good news. However, Israel still requires vaccinations and a mandatory PCR COVID test at the airport. I’m very happy to see that the borders are opening again, but the Israeli government needs to act quickly to resurrect this lifeless tourism industry, an industry that beat records in 2019 only to be shuttered by COVID in 2020 and 2021. Let’s pray 2022 is a year of reopening to those who want to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
