Shalom Friends,

We’re grateful to share an encouraging update as Israel turns a meaningful corner toward peace and stability.

In recent days, a ceasefire has taken hold between Israel and Iran—marking a welcomed end to active hostilities. The calm is real, and momentum is already building toward full normalization. Daily life has resumed across the country: schools are open, businesses are operating, and the nation is moving forward with characteristic strength and resilience.

At the airport, international carriers are returning, and flight schedules are rapidly rebuilding. The first wave of travelers is already arriving, and more are expected in the coming days. The infrastructure for tourism is once again alive and ready—hotels, guides, transportation teams, and ministries in the Land are prepared to welcome visitors with open arms.

We are anticipating that tourism will resume fully within the coming weeks. As always, our planning will be shaped by wisdom, a careful evaluation of timing, and a long-term view rooted in faith, not fear.

Through it all, we continue to stand in awe of the Lord’s faithfulness. We are grateful for the many who prayed during this time, for those who acted courageously in defense of truth and peace, and for the strength of our Israeli partners who remain unwavering in their commitment to serve with excellence and hospitality.

While we pause to remember the great cost paid during this conflict—including the lives of soldiers and civilians alike—we also look ahead with great hope. The opportunities for ministry, reconciliation, and spiritual renewal have not diminished—they’ve deepened.

If you’ve been considering a trip to Israel, we want to encourage you: the path forward is opening, and this is a moment of great significance. There is something powerful about being in the Land after a season of hardship—hearts are open, faith is stirred, and the story of redemption comes alive in unforgettable ways.

We’re here, we’re planning, and we’re ready to serve you. As always, reach out to us anytime—we’d be honored to walk this next chapter with you.

With hope and expectation,
The Nahal Tours Team
