Original Sources for this Claim (2)
All source submissions that originally contained this claim.
The Trump administration halted visitor visas for Gazans seeking medical care in the U.S., following pressure from right-wing activist Laura Loomer. The move impacts children with serious conditions. Loomer claimed the flights posed a national security threat.
The U.S. has suspended approvals of almost all types of visitor visas for Palestinian passport holders, impacting travel for medical treatment, university studies, and visiting relatives. The move follows declarations by U.S. allies to recognize a Palestinian state and is seen as a broad rejection of visa requests.
