Israelis can travel to America without a visa: America's big gift
- Israel has been included in the 'special club'
- There are like 40 countries in the world whose nationals are allowed to stay in America without a visa for 3 months: will there be a permanent permit for Israelis?
New Delhi: There are some countries and some peoples of the world who have been struggling against foreign invasions for ages. The first name that can come up is Israel. Is. Beginning with ancient Egyptian imperialism, the Jews continued to suffer from foreign rule until the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in World War I. Armenians had a similar situation. Before that (beginning in 1000 BC) it had been pilloried under Iranian imperialism and finally under the Ottoman Sultanate, to such an extent that Gladstone, in 1881, said the same thing to the Ottoman Sultan Hamid in the Parliament of England: 'His name is not worth uttering in this August. Assembly'.
India too has endured barbarian invasions, but India, having a large population, has somehow managed to sustain its culture to this day. Kudos must go to Israel and Armenia, whose handful of peoples, withstanding the constant barrage of persecution from 632 to the end of World War I, managed to preserve their culture. A grand gift the Biden administration now has to offer the people of Israel is to admit Jews to a special club without visas. Its citizens will be exempted from obtaining a visa to enter the US. America has taken this decision only during this week.
According to the report of news agency AP, American officials say that this announcement will be made in a week or so. The US Department of Homeland Security administers this program. Which now allows citizens of 40 countries (including most European countries and some Asian countries) to travel to the US without a visa for 3 months.
The US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is expected to give the green light to this plan. A senior official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the plan is likely to be officially announced by Homeland Security Minister Alexandra Mayorkas on Thursday, allowing Israelis to enter the US without a visa.
Israel is America's most important strategic partner. It is the first step from the Mediterranean to Western Asia. America is trying to forge a friendship with Saudi Arabia, a country surrounded by Muslim countries (but how successful it is is questionable) while America is forging stronger ties with Israel by including it in a special club. Today (Tuesday) the Biden administration will introduce a visa waiver for Israelis. Such inferences are made by observers. It is also possible that this exemption may be extended for another three months instead of just three months. So one also speculates that it is not improbable that he will get a permanent release later.
