Israel’s Population and Immigration Authority extended until 31 December 2026 the permission for Israeli citizens with a valid foreign passport to enter and leave the country using that passport. The measure applies to citizens whose Israeli passport has expired, including during the parliamentary election period.
According to the source, the temporary measure removes a practical travel restriction for Israeli dual citizens whose Israeli passport has expired but who hold a valid foreign passport. They may use the foreign document to cross Israel’s borders through the end of December 2026. This mainly affects Israeli citizens living abroad or planning travel who would otherwise need to renew their Israeli passport first. Because the measure is temporary, its expiry date is important when planning a trip.
