US Tightens Visa Restrictions for Palestinians Amid Diplomatic Tensions
TL;DR Summary
The US has suspended visa approvals for nearly all Palestinian passport holders, extending restrictions beyond Gaza to prevent Palestinians from traveling to the US for various reasons, including medical treatment and education. The move also involves denying and revoking visas for members of the PLO and Palestinian Authority, aligning US policies more closely with Israel's right-wing government and reflecting a stance of holding Palestinian entities accountable amid ongoing tensions.
