Entry is not currently permitted
Israel's Population and Immigration Authority states on its ETA-IL site that, according to the law, holders of your country's passport are prohibited from entering Israel and cannot apply for an ETA-IL. The site says that if you have exceptional circumstances you can ask an Israeli consulate for special permission to enter. This is not a visa you can apply for and be refused: the site says you cannot use its ETA-IL, and this page can't tell you whether special permission would be granted. Don't buy tickets or make bookings for Israel until you have that permission in writing.
