The programme will allow Israeli citizens visa-free entry to America as of November.
JERUSALEM: Israel’s foreign ministry said on Monday it expects the US to announce this week that it will be admitted to the Visa Waiver Programme , which would allow Israeli citizens visa-free entry to America as of November.
“Israel joining the Visa Waiver Program is a diplomatic achievement and good news for all Israeli citizens,” said foreign minister Eli Cohen. “The homeland security secretary, in consultation with the state secretary, will make a determination in the coming days,” the spokesman said. Some Palestinians have protested at Israel’s entry into the VWP, citing what they say are decades of discriminatory treatment of Arab Americans and harassment at Israel’s borders.
