Israel and the Palestinian Territories

You won't be able to enter Israel unless you're an Israeli citizen or resident or can demonstrate your 'life is based in Israel'. Authorities have imposed rules on social distancing, public gatherings and wearing masks. There is a nation-wide lockdown scheduled from 18 September until 11 October. If you're in Israel and wish to leave, do so as soon as possible by commercial means. Flight options are limited. Contact your travel agent and follow the Australian Embassy on social media for major updates.

The Palestinian Authority has measures in place to restrict the spread of COVID-19, including restrictions at tourist and religious sites. Gaza’s two entry and exit points remain closed.

We advise:

Do not travel to Israel and Palestinian Territories.
