Israeli citizens holding a valid foreign passport may enter and leave the country using that document until 31 December 2026. The measure also covers citizens whose Israeli passport has expired.
According to the source, the temporary exception has been extended through the end of 2026, addressing a practical problem for Israeli citizens who do not hold a valid Israeli passport. It is particularly relevant to dual citizens and families travelling during a relocation or while living abroad. The measure does not change citizenship status, but temporarily facilitates departure and return to Israel. Anyone planning travel after 31 December 2026 should take the stated end date into account.
