In response to a viral post listing countries barring Israeli passport holders, Israel's official handle casually remarked, ''We're good.'' Israeli law requires special permits for citizens to visit Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Iran, deemed as enemy nations. Notable exclusion is the UAE, allowing visa-free travel. Social media reactions ranged from indifference to gratitude. Israeli passports afford access to 171 countries visa-free or on arrival, ranking 20th globally on the Henley Passport Index, facilitating hassle-free travel across Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
