Israeli Passport

The Israeli passport (Hebrew: דַּרְכּוֹן darkon) is issued to citizens of the State of Israel for the purpose of international travel and entitles the bearer to the protection of Israel's consular officials overseas.

Israeli law allows Israeli citizens to hold foreign passports as well, but requires that the Israeli passport be used when entering and leaving Israel. This regulation was introduced officially into law in 2002, after having been legally contested on several occasions.
