This is possible very soon, and more on a direct flight:
from October this year, a direct flight line from Israel to the Philippines will be operated, which will be operated by the Philippine airline "Pal" (Philippine Airlines).
As previously reported in Walla!
Tourism, the talks on opening a direct line between the countries have been going on for two years, but have not materialized.
The Philippines is waiting to see if they can fly over Saudi Arabia, thus shortening the flight time from about 11 hours to about 7 hours.
Final approval from the Saudis has not yet been given, but it seems that without the consent of the Saudis in principle, the line would not have been implemented.
The line will operate between the cities of Manila and Tel Aviv twice a week.
A statement issued by the company said, "Israel is a vibrant and dynamic country, with a rich mix of history, nature and attractions. From the Old City of Jerusalem, to the Red Sea - Israel has been attracting tourists and pilgrims for thousands of years. Tel Aviv is a modern city, known for its beaches, homes The cafe and nightlife, and is recognized by UNESCO as a heritage center for Bauhaus architecture. "
In 2019, about 35,000 tourists from the Philippines entered Israel - an increase of about 30 percent since 2017.

Entry into Israel without a visa
Filipino passport holders are entitled to enter Israel without a visa for 90 days. It is estimated that there are currently 28,000 Filipinos working in Israel, most of whom live in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa.
Raphael Harpaz, Israel's ambassador to the Philippines, said: "We welcome the new line, whose launch has been postponed several times due to the global epidemic. There is a close relationship between Israel and the Philippines, including the desire of citizens to visit and move between the two countries. It will also help strengthen trade ties and mutual investment, as well as interpersonal relations between Israelis and the Philippines. "
Dexter Lee, Head of Strategy and Planning at Pal: "There is great potential for Filipino tourists to come to Israel, which accepts them without a visa. Our residents will be happy to come to Israel for religious reasons, or for a Mediterranean vacation, when possible. We are waiting for Israeli tourists,And we hope that the direct flights will be a starting point for the entry of Israeli tourists into our country. "
