Israelis can now travel to US for 90 days without getting a visa

The United States has launched a visa waiver program for Israelis, allowing them to visit the country for up to 90 days without applying for a visa. The program was initially announced in September, with the start date set for November 30. However, it was operationalized earlier this week. Israelis must register with the Electronic System for Travel Authorization, and eligibility is determined based on certain criteria. This move comes as the Israel-Hamas conflict escalates, with Hamas launching attacks against southern Israel and Israel preparing for a ground invasion.
