Smartraveller, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade’s travel-advisory platform, updated its Israel page on 12 June 2026 following renewed civil unrest and intermittent transport disruptions. The advice retains its overall ‘Exercise a high degree of caution’ level but now explicitly warns Australian-Palestinian dual nationals that Israeli authorities prohibit anyone listed in the Palestinian Population Register from entering via Ben-Gurion Airport. The notice also highlights sporadic closures of the Allenby Bridge crossing to Jordan and urges business travellers to confirm appointments can proceed virtually if required.

If you need help deciphering entry requirements or securing the right travel documents at short notice, VisaHQ can assist. Their Australian portal (https://www.visahq.com/australia/) aggregates the latest visa rules, offers guided application services and provides rapid updates, giving both individual and corporate travellers an extra layer of certainty when regulations shift suddenly.
Airlines continue to operate, yet travellers have experienced last-minute schedule changes as carriers reroute to avoid airspace restrictions. Corporate security firms recommend ensuring travel policies allow flexible booking changes and that employees register their itineraries with company travel-risk platforms. Organisations with regional operations should review evacuation protocols and confirm medical-assistance providers can reach the West Bank should violence escalate. DFAT reminds Australians that the government’s ability to provide consular assistance in Gaza and parts of the West Bank is extremely limited. Travellers are urged to monitor local media, carry physical copies of key documents in case of telecom outages, and maintain adequate travel insurance that covers civil unrest.
