UK-ISRAEL TRAVEL BAN CAUSES CHAOS AND HEARTACHE BY DAVID SAFFER
Hershy Weiss ZâL of London (pictured), was tragically killed along with two friends in an aircraft crash in Ukraine yesterday.
Holidaymakers plans to Israel are in chaos due to latest travel restrictions that come into force on Sunday. Fully vaccinated tourists from the UK are unable to enter Israel from August 1.

Tanya Duman from Manchester who were looking ahead to their elder daughter Malkaâs wedding in Jerusalem on August 24th. The family has rearranged the simcha in Manchester for next Sunday. Malka made Aliyah only last week but is returning for her marriage to Chatan-to-be Aidan, who has made Aliyah from Australia. âWith Israel changing the rules we can no longer get there,â said Mark. âIt reinforces the lesson again that we are not in charge of very much at all.â The Jewish Weekly are aware of other disappointed families that have had to shelve plans including Chayelle and Adam Cohen who had to cut their British holiday short.

The Israeli embassy has been inundated with requests and have worked around the clock to facilitate relevant documentation. And there has been some joy. Patricia Davila was desperate to visit family in Israel and gained confirmation yesterday of being able to fly out today on compassionate grounds. Overall though the picture is gloomy with rising COVID-19 cases and concern over variants. Travel restrictions come as the Israeli government is deciding whether to offer a third COVID-19 vaccine. Itâs not clear whether they will recommend the injection or make it available to the elderly.
