US suspends most visas for Palestinian passport-holders
The US State Department has reportedly announced visa restrictions on Palestinian citizens, citing a "serious terrorism concern." According to the reports, the Trump administration has suspended most visas for Palestinian passport holders and banned foreigners from contributing to Palestinian-owned banks. The move comes after a series of deadly attacks in Israel.
What's next?
The State Department is expected to release an official statement with further details on the new policy. In response to the announcement, Palestinian officials have criticized the US government's decision, describing it as an attempt to alter the status quo with Israel. Reactions from the Palestinian Authority and Arab nations are expected, with many already expressing outright rejection and criticism of the US' unilateral action.
