New U.S. Visa Policy: Social Media Screening for Gaza Visitors
The U.S. State Department has introduced a new directive requiring social media screening for visa applicants who visited Gaza after January 1, 2007. This applies to all applicants, including students and tourists, who spent any time in Gaza in an official or diplomatic capacity.
Civil liberties groups have raised concerns, fearing this could lead to discrimination against those supporting Palestinians or criticizing Israeli actions. Is this policy an attempt to curb free speech?
