EU recommends member states lift restrictions on travel from Israel

The European Council adds Israel to a list of countries for which it recommends EU member states gradually lift COVID-19 travel restrictions on nonessential travel.

A statement from the European Council says the criteria for including Israel on the list include the “epidemiological situation and overall response to COVID-19, as well as the reliability of the available information and data sources.”

“Reciprocity should also be taken into account on a case by case basis,” it adds.
