The Israeli Passport is a travel document issued to citizens of Israel, confirming their identity and entitlement to utilize diplomatic facilities overseas. It also serves as proof of nationality and allows the holder to enter and leave Israel without undergoing customs or immigration procedures. The passport is issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Israel. It features the Star of David (Magen David) on its cover, which represents Judaism and is a prominent symbol of Israel. The passport's validity typically lasts for five years from the date of issue. Holders of Israeli passports benefit from visa-free or visa-on-arrival entry to over 100 countries worldwide, according to the Henley Passport Index.
