Israel is extending its travel ban on foreigners for 10 days as fears over the Omicron variant persist. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz announced the decision on Thursday night.
The extension only takes effect Sunday, meaning foreigners will be barred from entering Israel until at least December 22nd, at which point the government could let the restrictions expire or extend them again.
The decision to extend the restrictions was made by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett in conjuction with Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz after they discussed the matter with health authorities.
In addition to the entry ban on foreigners, Israel will require citizens traveling in from abroad to isolate themselves for three days. They will be required to take a PCR test upon landing and a second test 72 hours later, prior to leaving quarantine.
The Prime Minister and the Health Minister also agreed to discuss evaluating additional restrictions and incentives for vaccination in the coming days.

meaning foreigners will be barred from entering Israel until at least December 22nd with the exception of wicked bennett’s פריצות girl friends attending the miss world pageantry, but we Frum Jews who have given so much צדקה to Israel and loyally do all our {pre-Corona} travel to Israel to patronize Israel & daven at the כותל have been snubbed by wicked bennett, and if that is not enough, have been banished from seeing our loved ones.
“But sure, carry on.”

147: Based on your long-standing views on just about everything, the ehrliche Yidden in EY and the economy of the medinan as a whole are probably better served by having the Ms. Universe contestants (all of whom have been vaccinated and tested) providing some tziniusdike visual relief in this grey and cold time of the year.
Yet vaccinated Israelis can come here and go back without a problem?? Science? I think not. It’s just rishus from the disgusting Bennet and co.
