The UK FCDO says an Israeli stamp or other evidence of travel to Israel may get you refused entry to Iran, Lebanon, Syria and Kuwait — for Iran this includes stamps from other countries' border crossings with Israel — and that a passport showing previous travel to Israel will not be accepted for travel to Libya. Entry to Israel through Ben Gurion normally leaves no stamp, but check before planning onward travel to such countries.

    After
    The UK FCDO advises against all travel to Gaza and within 500 m of the border with Gaza, and to parts of northern Israel and the occupied Golan Heights; it says rocket fire can affect most areas of Israel and tells travellers to check Home Front Command for the latest guidance.

    visaPolicy.defaultStayWindow.text

    Before
    The Population and Immigration Authority states that an approved ETA-IL lets you “stay for up to 90 days per visit” — the allowance is per entry, not a running total, so leaving and returning starts it again.
