Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the nation on our country’s entry into the US visa waiver program.
Writes about this “Today in Israel.”
In his address, the head of government called this day one of the most important moments in the history of Israel, towards which our state has been moving for a long time.
“We have been working for many years to realize the long-standing dream of many of our citizens, and now it has finally become a reality. Now we are among only forty-odd countries that are granted the right to visa-free access to the United States,” the prime minister said.
Netanyahu also expressed his gratitude to everyone who contributed to this landmark moment, including US President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and former US Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides.
Let us remind you that on September 27, the United States officially joined Israel to the visa-free regime. Now our country has become the 41st state in this program. According to the head of the US Embassy in Israel, Stephanie Hallett, it will take some time before ESTA can be used. For this reason, Israelis will have to continue issuing visas.
