The UK and Israel do not have reciprocal visa requirements, including for visits. Such requirements are matters for the respective country.

The Immigration Rules for visitors - https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/immigration-rules-appendix-v-visitor-rules - set out the requirements that applicants must meet in order to visit the UK. These include that the applicant must satisfy the decision maker that they are a genuine visitor who will leave the UK at the end of their visit and will not make the UK their main home through frequent or successive visits.
