US admits Israel into visa waiver program

The Biden administration is allowing Israeli citizens to travel to the US without a visa, despite concerns about the Israeli government's treatment of Palestinian Americans. This move is seen as a major accomplishment for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The waiver program grants Israelis the ability to travel to the US for up to 90 days for business or leisure purposes by registering with the Electronic System for Travel Authorization. This will enhance freedom of movement for US citizens, including those in the Palestinian Territories.
Palestinian-Americans, both in the US and the West Bank, can now enter Israel without a visa and travel through Ben Gurion airport, reducing travel barriers for these individuals. Israel has also eased access for Palestinian Americans through its borders and the West Bank.
