There is a lot of information on this topic - read it. Then you can fly to the airport, and there, as God wills, you can fly away without visiting that friend, including the sea. Israeli border guards do not explain anything to anyone - you are unwanted on this earth. Something like this

None, if the acquaintance will meet and confirm "that you are a good person."
Well, a friend must comply with this principle.
And so, they can wrap it up, or they can let it in.

The main thing is to be calm and confident when crossing the border in Tel Aviv. And at least somehow confirm your purpose of the trip, whether it's a letter from your friend, or a hotel reservation, or return tickets.

It's completely unclear how they work there. The mother of a friend (a friend has been living in Israel with her husband and children for many years) flew regularly, there were no questions, a very prosperous family, but she was turned away. I sat at the airport for 6 hours .... and she was told that she was flying back without explanation at all ... which is not so clear. And the daughter was waiting at the airport and the son-in-law then drove up, but they could not prove anything to anyone. For all of us, it was just very unexpected and strange. Already in this case, everything is very safe, justified and in general.

Dima, tourists who come to Israel do not cross the border in Tel Aviv.
Customs and border control take place at Ben Gurion Airport.
The distance from the airport to Tel Aviv is almost 30 km, and it takes almost 30 minutes to drive.
First of all. Don't mislead the kid.
Secondly. If you don't know, don't write.
Note. This is almost one and a half times further than from Kyiv (city border) to Boryspil.

Dear Bovik,
You are 100% right - NOBODY crosses the border in Tel Aviv. The closest location is Ben Gurion Airport. And now it is considered Tel Aviv! International designation - TLV...
Now about the distance and travel time. You can say about the distance unambiguously - 2 times closer than you wrote. But about time - no. At night or on Shabbat, you can drive to the first entrance to the city in 12-15 minutes, and to the farthest hotel in 25-30 minutes ... In the morning and evening on a weekday (from Sunday to Thursday), the same distance takes many times more!

Dear lapilaus,
A trip for 1-2 weeks to a good friend just for you trip to relax. For Israeli border guards, this trip will not be considered a tourist trip, but with the aim of getting married (including a civil marriage) and staying to live in Israel. Accordingly, the risk of being stopped for an interview for several hours is extremely high. The chance of being denied a visa is quite high...
These are two possible problems. They are more than enough to spoil the mood. Least!

moy_contakt , don't be so specific. You do not know, but the fact that her daughter and son-in-law came to meet her is not an argument. Maybe she violated the visa regime last time or exceeded the allowed period of stay in the country ... Do you have all the information ???.

mishatour, as for the situation I described, I know absolutely everything, because these are not strangers to me and there were definitely no violations there. By the way, they then hired a lawyer and decided the same issue. Of course, they spent money .... Assumptions why they weren’t allowed in, there are, but this is from a series of guesses, since no one has explained anything. Unfortunately, such cases do exist and they are not rare. The bureaucracy is terrible.

mishatour, to whom I tell If you yourself are from Israel, then you know ..... although, perhaps, you are among those lucky residents of Israel who have not been touched by this topic. My sister, at one time, having lived with her husband for 5 years in Batyam (I hope I wrote correctly), moved to Germany for permanent residence. feel.
