Complimenten aan @ggdkennemerland voor het adequate handelen. De reizigers met een positieve testuitslag gaan met hun reisgenoten naar een quarantainehotel, overige passagiers in thuisquarantaine. Zaak is nu om snel te onderzoeken of het om de Omicron-variant gaat. https://t.co/rMpChjGU06- Hugo de Jonge (@hugodejonge) November 26, 2021

Israel, the first country to close borders to the omicron variant
Although the new variants have already arrived in Israel, a severe wave of coronavirus cases is not expected in the country and the strategy of living with the virus and boosting the application of booster vaccines continues.
Something that the MAEC makes very clear is that the Israeli authorities have the power to deny entry to anyone, even if you meet all the requirements for travel to Israel if they believe that you are sympathetic to the Palestinian cause or if they believe that the reason for your trip is to visit the West Bank and / or Gaza for political reasons.
As you can see, you will not need a visa, so the most important document for travel to Israel is your passport. In order to avoid problems, you should make sure that your passport is valid for at least 6 months from the date you plan to leave Israel.
Keep in mind that we are in a time of many changes, so, before setting out, it is advisable that you always go to official sources. At IATI we are continually updating our articles, but it is best to make sure.
Diamond fever in South Africa
The cascade of country restrictions began Thursday night when the United Kingdom announced it would temporarily suspend flights from South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Lesotho and Eswatini.
Singapore has opted to ban entry to all non-residents from Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe, while returning nationals and permanent residents from any of these countries will be required to spend 10 days at home. Malaysia has also taken similar measures.
Meanwhile, Germany plans to declare South Africa a “virus variant area” as of Friday night, which will mean that airlines will only be able to enter from the country to repatriate German nationals.
The United States will restrict travel from South Africa and seven other countries as of Monday. Following advice from Dr. Anthony Fauci and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Biden administration will restrict travel from South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique and Malawi.
Why travel to Israel, what does the Holy Land offer to the traveler?
Israel’s “foreign relations” are the set of diplomatic, political, economic, social, cultural, scientific, sports and technological exchange ties that the State of Israel maintains to a greater or lesser extent with other countries of the world. Israel has been a member of the United Nations since May 11, 1949[1] and in 2022 maintains formal diplomatic relations with 168 countries of the 192 member states of the United Nations[2] and has open borders with two of its neighbors, Egypt and Jordan, after signing peace treaties in 1979 and 1994 respectively. In 2020, Israel signed agreements establishing diplomatic relations with four Arab League countries, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Sudan and Morocco.
Israel’s foreign relations are mainly influenced by its strategic situation in the Middle East, which encompasses, among other issues, the Arab-Israeli conflict and the conflict with Iran, particularly over Iran’s nuclear program. Therefore, the Jewish State’s foreign policy objectives have been to overcome diplomatic isolation and to achieve recognition and friendly relations with as many nations as possible, both in the Middle East region and beyond. Israel practices overt and covert diplomacy to promote national objectives, e.g., trade and cooperation in science and technology, the import of raw materials, participation in military supplies, as well as the export of arms and military assistance, intelligence cooperation with its allies, and the exchange of prisoners of war and other arrangements for the release of hostages. It has also sought to encourage greater Jewish immigration to Israel and to protect vulnerable Jewish communities in the Diaspora, to provide aid to developing countries as well as to provide assistance to countries facing humanitarian catastrophes.[3] The Jewish community has also been involved in the development of the Jewish community in Israel.
