You must leave North America within 90 days of entering the US. Costa Rica is not considered North America for this purpose, so if you go to Costa Rica within 90 days, you've met the requirement. When you re-enter the US, you restart the 90-day clock. (Though the immigration officer has the right to deny entry if he/she thinks your trip to Costa Rica was just a ruse to get around the 90-day limit.)

Israel doesn't deny entry to anyone based solely on where they have been.

You can expect a lot of questioning about what you were doing in Iran. You must answer all questions truthfully and politely, no matter how silly, irrelevant or repetitive they may seem. Assuming your purpose in Iran was for tourism, and your purpose in Israel is also tourism, you will be allowed in.

Political activists whose purpose in visiting Israel is to stir up trouble are a different story.

Israel doesn't deny entry to anyone based on where they are from or where they have been. Since Israel has diplomatic relations with both Egypt and Israel, and hundreds of people cross the borders (in both directions) every day, it's no problem at all. You might be asked a lot of questions by the Israeli immigration official, which you must answer truthfully and politely, no matter how silly or irrelevant they may seem.

Have a great trip!

Welcome to Thorn Tree.

Israel doesn't deny entry to anyone based solely on where they have been.

You will likely be asked a lot of questions, which you must answer politely and truthfully, no matter how silly or irrelevant they seem. If you were in Iran for tourism and your purpose in visiting Israel is for tourism or pilgrimage there is no reason why you wouldn't be allowed in.

There are some rules that clearly specify people in situation X CAN'T enter, and that don't give border officers discretion to waive that rule. I would expect such rules to be enforced (though no human rule is followed perfectly). Assuming that there's no other rule to consider, that means that people in situation NOT-X generally CAN enter, but border officers would have discretion to deny entry anyway.

Regardless of what you were asked when entering the US, this is different, as has been explained. Write a hotel name & address & phone number. Done. Nobody cares if you have an affair in the room. Friends and lovers alike travel together all the time. Nobody stops to interrogate them. You don't have to be married to share a hotel, and nobody will scrutinize disembarkation documents to see if two travelers are going to be in a different hotel, let alone the same room. You wouldn't be denied…

Thank you for reporting that Arab stamps don't necessarily cause a problem. Most of the people who "report a problem" are more of the , 'I've heard, my friend told me " type of reports. And, there will clearly be some people who are denied entry. However, if they do post they usually forget to share that there reasons for wanting to enter Israel were not on the up and up. Tourists may get questions but they do get welcomed.

I worked in embassies and consulates but I don't know what will happen. It appears you have 3 main choices: 1) Apply for a visa and see what happens, then try to change what you can if you're denied (which you should have done before you made your plans, of course, but that's a moot point now); 2) consult an immigration attorney; 3) make diferent travel plans now. I certainly would not suggest hoping for the best at the port of entry when you're on your honeymoon.

^^ The check is usually made by the airline at check-in because they are legally bound to take you back if Thailand Immigration refuse you entry - but as said, although it's a Thai Govt rule, the Thais themselves do not bother to check - you'll arrive hassle free. If there's going to be a problem, it will be denied boarding when you try to check in. In Australia or Europe it would be a problem. In Nepal it won't be - that's only 99% of course! If you board okay then your worries are over.
