Hi Andy
I understand what you meant - the Arkia scheduled service was only stated to show it is possible border wise. Certain Israeli airports mandate a Hebrew speaker on board. FWIW I've flown (C)VFR there in a B200 on a foreign (N) reg on a foreign licence as an internal flight but will state all of my international flights to Israel and the Middle East are on an IFR FPL.
Getting permission from ASOC is usually the hassle. They like you to have a reason (other than leisure) for the visit, and a local contact.
