Visa Issue for U.S. Evangelical Groups Resolved, Says Ambassador Huckabee


(Jerusalem Post) U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee confirmed on Monday that the visa issue concerning American evangelical organizations has been fully resolved, following a meeting with Interior Minister Moshe Arbel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "Starting in January, changes in how visas for Christian organizations were processed led to serious bureaucratic and financial challenges for these groups," Huckabee explained. "The Christian organizations did not at any time ask for different or special treatment, but merely a return to what has been an efficient and satisfactory process for many years. I'm convinced the Interior Minister was not fully aware of the change being imposed and I'm grateful he has personally intervened to completely restore the long-standing process. American Christians are some of Israel's strongest supporters, and the resolution of this issue among friends is a welcome outcome."
