The Israeli passport (Hebrew: דַּרְכּוֹן יִשְׂרְאֵלִי Dárkōn Yīśreʾēli; Arabic: جواز سفر إسرائيلي Jawāz Sifr Isrāʾīlī) is the travel document issued to citizens of the State of Israel for the purpose of international travel.^[3] It grants the bearer visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 166 countries and territories, where they are entitled to the protection of Israeli consular officials.

Although Israelis are allowed multiple citizenship, a government regulation^[specify] from 2002 forbids them from using foreign passports when entering or leaving Israeli territory. Holders of the Israeli passport—or, in some cases, a foreign passport that has been used to enter Israel—are entirely prohibited from entering sixteen countries; this restriction includes the country's Arab or Palestinian citizens of Israel.
