Health Ministry Weighing Permits to Allow Tourist Groups Back into Israel

The Health Ministry is considering issuing permits for the first tourists to enter Israel in over a year, a senior health official said Friday.

The unnamed official told the Kan public broadcaster that the initial stage of the plan would probably allow organized tour groups, such as Birthright, to enter the country.

Health officials thought that it would be easier to monitor for any possible outbreaks if the travelers were in official, authorized groups, the report said. (TOI / VFI News)
