Israel will begin allowing entry to all tourists, regardless of whether they have been vaccinated against Covid-19, from March 1, a statement from the prime minister's office said.

Entry into Israel will still require two PCR tests, one before flying in and one upon landing in Israel, the statement said. Currently, only Covid-19 vaccinated foreigners are allowed into Israel, Reuters reports.

“We are seeing a consistent decline in morbidity numbers, so this is the time to gradually open up what we were the first in the world to close,” Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said.
