The green passport policy would exempt vaccinated visitors from mandatory quarantine and allow them to attend public events.
Israel continues to lead the world in per capita inoculations. Health Minister Yuli Edelstein announced in a tweet Wednesday that 152,000 jabs had distributed over a 24-hour period.
As of Thursday morning, some 800,000 Israelis have already received first doses of the vaccine since the country started its vaccination campaign on Dec. 20.
"That's how we beat the pandemic!" Edelstein tweeted.
