Israel "new" cruise testing coming soon

[pikwe012]

From Tuesday 10.5.22 (Subject to approval by the Knesset):

Only holders of a visitor's visa (b/2) will be required to take a COVID test before boarding a cruise the next embarkation of which will be in Israel. Holders of all other visas (a/1, a/2, a/3, a/4, a/5, b/1, b/3, b/4) – will be exempt from such test.
Holders of a visitor's visa (b/2) can choose between a PCR test, taken in the 72 hours before boarding the cruise to Israel, and a rapid (antigen) test at an authorized testing site, taken in the 24 hours before boarding the cruise to Israel by professional samplers (not an at-home test).

 I believe visitors are automatically issued a b/2 visa on arrival
