The country’s ministry of health on Tuesday (17 May) announced the rules would be eased on Saturday (21 May).

It means international arrivals will be allowed to enter the country without having to show proof of vaccination against Covid-19, of having recently recovered from the infection, or of a recent negative test.

Sharon Ehrlich Bershadsky, director of the Israel Government Tourist Office in London, said: “This is the news we have been waiting for for more than two years.

"It has been our highest priority to make the process of entering Israel the easiest it can be while responsibly looking after our passengers’ health and safety.
