Israeli tourists welcomed back by EU
By EUobserver
The EU has recommended to member states that Israeli nationals should be allowed to visit the bloc as tourists once again, due to the success of Israel's coronavirus vaccination campaign. The move "paves the way for a gradual return to routine and economic growth after the coronavirus crisis," Israel's foreign minister Gabi Ashkenazi said. People from Australia and New Zealand are also exempt from Europe's blanket ban on foreign tourism.
