If I get a tourist visa to Israel prior to traveling can I still get denied entry to Israel?

Accepted answer
Like any country, a visa is just an endors*m*nt allowing you a specific period of time in a country based on your citizenship (and other potential factors).
However, once you're at the border, the border agents / authorities can and will still make a further assessment. They might evaluate:
- your ability to support yourself while in the country
- your intent in the country (you might be on a tourist visa, but they suspect you're coming to work/do business)
- your possessions (eg if found with something illegal)
- your history (some countries won't let you in if your passport shows you've been to countries that they're not fans of)
as a result, yes, even if you have a legitimate visa, it's still possible (generally unlikely, but possible) for you to be rejected at the border.
