Though vaccination rates in Israel are among the world’s highest, Portugal and Sweden have their eyes on the elevated case numbers and aren’t making exceptions for Israelis who are vaccinated or recovered from COVID-19. The two countries only accept European Union vaccination certificates.

Their decisions came after the European Union on Monday removed Israel from a list of nations deemed “epidemiologically safe.”

Itay Mor, Over the Rainbow’s president, said it is “incomprehensible” that citizens of the United States and Brazil, two other countries removed from the EU’s safe list, are welcome in Portugal when Israelis are not.
