A list of 'red' countries with a high infection rate has been withdrawn by the Israeli government, including the UK.
Nachman Ash, director-general of the Israeli health ministry, has recommended that countries that were previously listed on the red list be moved to the orange and green lists based on their health status.
After a 24-hour isolation period, vaccinated or recovered individuals from the UK can enter Israel after being placed on the orange list, which allows them to enter Israel after a negative PCR test result is received.
An Israeli international airport is the only place where the test can be taken.
From Sunday, all foreign visitors from orange and green countries will be allowed to visit Israel.
Director of the Israel Government Tourist office in London, Sharon Bershadsky, said: "After two turbulent years for the travel industry, we are delighted that the Israeli health ministry recommended that Israel's skies be reopened to tourists.
Even though the borders were closed for four weeks, the reopening of the borders has sparked hope and anticipation that this positive start to the new year will set the tone for travel in 2022."
The company is deeply encouraged by this significant milestone, and has faith that it represents the first step towards reducing the uncertainty created by Covid-19 and replacing it with a desire to explore new destinations, cultures, and food in a safe and secure manner.
