Israelis Granted Visa-Free Travel to U.S. by Biden Administration
The Biden administration has announced that Israeli citizens will be allowed to enter the United States without a visa, a move aimed at improving relations between the two countries. In return, Israel must take reciprocal actions towards American citizens, including Palestinian Americans who often face difficulties in traveling to Palestinian territories. The decision comes after a pilot effort since July, during which Israel allowed over 100,000 U.S. citizens, including tens of thousands of Palestinian Americans, to enter without a visa. The program aims to enhance freedom of movement for U.S. citizens, including those living in or traveling to the Palestinian Territories.
