Hi Oula,
U.S. passport holders traveling to Israel for tourism do not need a traditional visa in advance; however, they are now required to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA-IL) prior to departure. The ETA-IL is a mandatory online pre-travel authorization, not a visa, and must be approved before boarding your flight. It is generally valid for multiple entries within its validity period, with stays of up to 90 days per visit. If you're ready to start your application, you can apply quickly and easily here.
