Will it be safe (enough)?

Will it be safe? Perfect safety does not exist anywhere in the world, and we do not know YET, but here is a summary of reliable information about how it is at this moment for the places that we plan to visit: 

 "It’s understandable to be cautious about traveling to Israel considering how the conflict appears on world news. However, it’s statistically very safe to travel within Israel."

"It’s easy to associate all of Israel with Gaza and the West Bank. But you must remember that these aren’t areas where most people live. They certainly aren’t the areas that travelers visit. The main tourist areas- Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, the Negev, Kapernaum, Nazareth, and the Dead Sea – remain as safe as always."

"We advise against all travel to the West Bank, EXcluding East Jerusalem and Route 1 between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. While you should stay open to developments of the conflict, travel in Israel is still safe. It’s important to remember that the main tourist areas are away from Gaza, where this current conflict is taking place (and where any travel in close proximity is prohibited)."

"There are still thousands of tourists in the country having an unforgettable and safe experience."
