Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said on Thursday that Israel still has no plan to let vaccinated tourists into Israel.
In response to a question from The Jerusalem Post during a Facebook briefing, Bennet said: “The plan will be dependent on the virus. If we go out and vaccinate and the virus is quelled, we can open up to tourists again — with the proper testing and other procedures, such as testing before takeoff and landing and isolation based on the location from which the tourist is traveling.”
“With the way the situation is now, we cannot take the chance and let mass amounts of tourists into Israel.”
Israel is grappling with its fourth wave of the coronavirus, spurred by the Delta variant. On Thursday 3,421 new coronavirus cases were confirmed, the third consecutive day that over 3,000 patients were diagnosed – a first since March.

Who gave you wicked bennett permission to banish we Frum Jews from going to Israel and daven at the Kossel, but giving permission to hezbollah rockets to enter Israel, and giving permission to wicked reform to to go to Kossel.
You wicked bennet shall have to give דין וחשבון to השם for banishing us from Israel, and meanwhile do not expect a penny of our money to Israel, when we cannot even enter Israel. We are not just wallets, but authentic Jews who want to visit our מקומות הקדושות
Dope! They bring in the dollars for your economy! Businesses are desperate – more than desperate! YOU, Mr. Bennett were all over Netanyahu for his Covid decisions. You’re a master hypocrite.
