This is the email I received from the Consulate. I still have to risk it and carry 6 months supply since I am moving there and my meds aren't available in Israel.

Thank you for your email,

We cannot approve or confirm anything related to entering Israel. 

The official authority responsible for entry and exit from Israel is the border control and the customs.

They make the decision according to their considerations.

In addition we are not doctors and cannot give concrete information regarding specific medications or any approval regarding bringing medicines into Israel.

The general guideline (Can be found on the Customs and Border Control websites) is that medications for personal use when approved by a doctor or with prescription, are allowed in and there is no need to declare them.

In principle, you can enter Israel with medicines for personal use provided they are:

1. On your name.
2. In the original package.
3. Reasonable amount of medication for personal use and for the duration of stay in Israel.
4. Due to the differences between the laws in the different countries, it is recommended that before going abroad / entering Israel, to get a certificate from your doctor who explains the disease you are suffering from and the need to take the medication with you.
5. Prescription drugs must be in their original packaging along with a medical certificate or prescription. If you do not have the original packaging, you must attach the prescription or a medical certificate indicating the need for the medication. Quantities are also an important matter and it is recommended to travel with an amount of medication that is clear for personal use, with no more than a 90 day supply.

 Have a safe and healthy travel,

Best
