The Government of Israel has lifted its temporary travel restrictions on Kenya and Rwanda following protests from the Kenyan government. This decision comes after concerns over outbreaks of the Ebola virus in parts of Africa.

• Kenya and Rwanda have been removed from the list of restricted countries by Israel's Ministry of Health.
• The protest was led by Principal Secretary for Foreign Affairs Korir Sing'oei, who highlighted Kenya's strong Ebola surveillance measures and lack of confirmed cases.
• Other countries like Uganda, South Sudan, and the DRC remain subject to the restrictions.
