Biden Administration to Allow Israelis to Travel to the U.S. without a Visa
(AP) Matthew Lee - U.S. officials say Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is set to announce Israel's entry into the Visa Waiver Program on Thursday after receiving a recommendation from Secretary of State Antony Blinken. The program currently allows citizens of 40 mostly European and Asian countries to travel to the U.S. for three months without visas. Under the waiver program, Israelis will be able to travel to the U.S. for business or leisure by registering with the Electronic System for Travel Authorization. In recent months, Israel has moved to adjust its entry requirements for Palestinian Americans, including allowing them to fly in and out of Ben-Gurion International Airport instead of having to travel through Jordan or Egypt.
