The United States State Department has announced a suspension of all visitor visas for individuals from Gaza, citing the need for a comprehensive review. This decision comes after recent controversy sparked by claims from a political activist that Palestinian refugees had entered the country. The department confirmed that only a small number of medical-humanitarian visas had been issued in recent days, without specifying the exact figure. Monthly data shows that over 3,800 visitor visas were granted to holders of Palestinian Authority travel documents, including hundreds in May. The move has drawn criticism from some politicians, who have raised concerns about national security. Meanwhile, discussions are reportedly underway between South Sudan and Israel regarding the potential resettlement of Palestinians displaced by the ongoing conflict.
