Israel, Greece agree on 'green passports' for citizens vaccinated for COVID-19
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed Feb. 9 to adopt a mutual tourism pact, which will enable those already vaccinated against the coronavirus to travel between the two countries freely.
Israel and Greece agreed yesterday to mutually recognize each other’s “green passports,” enabling people vaccinated against the coronavirus to travel freely between the two countries.
Speaking at a joint press conference with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defined the policy adopted by the two as “without any limitations, no self-isolation, nothing.” Netanyahu further said that the green passport policy will "allow us to open the economy, trade, cultural institutions and the rest of the education system, but carefully. Once we remove flight restrictions, we will be able to fly to Greece without any limitations."
