The Israeli government has postponed the opening of the country for individual tourists for a month.
The guests were expected to arrive in early July, but have now been postponed until August 1.
According to officials, tour groups will continue to arrive over the next month as part of an existing pilot scheme.
The move follows concerns about the potential proliferation of the Covid-19 Delta.
The news came after Israel reintroduced the requirement to wear masks indoors amid rising cases.
This measure was abolished a few days ago.
Concerns have risen after more than 100 new cases were reported daily in the country in the days following zero registration earlier this month.
Most cases are related to the Delta option from abroad.
Israel was one of the most successful countries in the world in the fight against the pandemic.
He implemented the fastest vaccination program, in which more than half of the population of 9.3 million people were partially or fully immunized.
“We are seeing a doubling of the number of cases every few days,” Nahman Ash, head of Israel’s coronavirus response service, told Public Radio.
“Another thing that worries me is the spread of the infection.”
The requirement to wear a mask was the last remaining restriction after all other measures introduced during the isolation earlier this year were phased out.
