The High Court of Justice ruled Wednesday that Israel s restrictions on entering and exiting the country via Ben-Gurion Airport are unconstitutional and must end on Saturday, when the current period expires.
Current limitations include a cap of 3,000 returning citizens per day and the need for people who have not been vaccinated or have not recovered from COVID-19 to obtain a special permit to fly.
