Israel Travel Updates
January 2026
If you’ve been longing to visit Israel but the news has you hesitating, here’s what we’re seeing right now.
At a glance:
- In 2025, 5 groups and 292 Christian travelers toured the Holy Land with us, including groups led by Kristi McLelland and Dr. Anthony George.
- Travel was experienced in safe, meaningful and spiritually rich ways.
- We continue to evaluate each departure and journey carefully and are committed to communicating directly with you if anything changes for your booked dates.
What Israel Travel Looks Like Right Now
We don’t sugarcoat the reality that Israel remains a complex region. We also don’t ignore what we’re experiencing firsthand: In many of the areas Christian travelers visit, daily life and tourism activity have continued to return.
Our approach stays simple and disciplined. For every tour, we are guided by:
- Reliable updates from trusted partners and expert guides on the ground
- Decades of experience planning Israel travel with safety as the priority
Our goal remains the same: to create the safest path possible for your journey so you can focus on why you came.

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem… Peace be within thy walls.”
—Psalm 122:6–7
We are closely monitoring recent developments in Israel following reports of heightened regional tensions. Early on June 13, 2025, Israeli officials confirmed a strategic military operation aimed at preventing future threats to national and regional stability. While the situation continues to evolve, we remain in direct contact with our trusted local partners and are receiving timely updates from experienced regional experts.
At Inspiration Travel, the safety and peace of mind of our travelers, staff, and ministry partners is always our top priority. We can confirm that there are currently no Inspiration travelers in Israel, and that we are maintaining close, real-time communication with our network on the ground.
As we have always done, we will continue to evaluate each tour with thoughtful care and caution. Our decisions are guided by the U.S. State Department’s official travel advisories, local intelligence, decisions by the airlines, and our decades of experience organizing tours through Israel with the highest standards of safety.
If you are currently booked on an upcoming Israel tour, there is nothing you need to do at this time. Should any updates become relevant to your tour, our team will reach out to you directly. Your peace of mind is important to us, and we are committed to keeping you informed every step of the way.
In times like these, we are reminded of the importance of prayer, community, and steady hope. We stand with you—and with the people of Israel—believing for peace, safety, and healing across the region. Thank you for your continued trust in us.
