Panama, India, Bolivia, Peru, the Philippines, Argentina, Cyprus and many other countries have imposed very severe restrictions on entering their countries. There are quite a few Israelis in those countries right now, many of them young after military trips on a long trip that should last several months. At the same time, the skies in Israelis are almost completely closed, a fact that makes it very difficult for them to return to Israel.

Speaking to Keren, an Israeli based in South America says: "We're in trouble, shut down all the following countries we wanted to go to, and now we don't know what to do. Also returning to Israel is a problem because the airlines that booked flights are no longer flying to Israel. What not to do. Not Bolivia, not Peru, lots of South American countries impose restrictions, so even if you can get in - you can't really travel or have fun. We're really in trouble and need to help us find a solution. "

In the various groups of Israelis located in Thailand and Mexico, countries that are currently not in quarantine, panic can be seen, with dozens of Israelis asking many questions about returning to Israel. The recurring questions are: "How can one return to Israel?", "Which airlines are still flying to Israel?" And "If we want to return to Israel in a few days, is there a script that the sky is closed?"

Currently, many companies continue to cancel their flights to Israel. Air Canada also announced over the weekend that it would stop flying to Israel, and the number of airlines operating daily flights to Israel is shrinking daily as a result of the Ministry of Health's decisions, and that number is likely to decline only in the near future.

At the same time, the Amsalam Torres group recruited around fifty employees, and they promise to answer every Israeli who is abroad and find a solution to return to Israel. In the company, they answer within minutes by telephone calls or via correspondence in Wutsap: "The waiting time will not exceed ten minutes," the company promises in the conversation With "Israel today".

It is important to mention that every Israeli who enters the country from any country in the world will have to go into isolation for two weeks. More and more countries are closing their doors to tourists and it is likely that in the coming days there will be quite a few tourists, Israeli and non-Israeli, who are in unclear situations in the countries where they are tourists.
