Israel is accepting vaccinated foreign tourists from today, but has mandated PCR testing for visitors.
The country will accept proof of double jabs from all major vaccine brands that have been administered at least 14 days before departure.
However, tourists must perform a PCR test up to 72 hours before an outbound flight and fill out a passenger declaration form before entering Israel. Both documents must be presented to board the flight.
On arrival, tourists must perform another PCR test and remain in isolation until a negative test result is obtained, or for 24 hours, “whichever is earlier”.
