Israel’s Channel 13 has reported that the United States government has not issued a travel visa to Itamar Ben-Gvir, the Israeli Minister of Internal Affairs. According to the report, it is believed that the administration of President Donald Trump is reluctant to allow his presence on US soil.<\/p>\n
The network added that the issuance of a diplomatic visa for Ben-Gvir has encountered obstacles. Diplomatic visas are typically processed more quickly and holders are subject to fewer routine checks and inspections.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Israeli journalist Suleiman Masouda reported yesterday that the US Embassy in the Occupied Territories requested that Ben-Gvir visit the embassy to provide fingerprint information as part of the visa application process.<\/p>\n
According to him, this measure is considered unusual for a ministerial official holding a diplomatic passport, as normally, such officials are not required to provide fingerprints like ordinary visa applicants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
