US announces halting all visitors’ visa from Gaza.
The State Department made a major announcement of halting all visitor visas for people from Gaza for the time being, as it conducts a full and thorough review of the “process and procedures” used to issue medial-humanitarian visas in recent days. “All visitor visas for individuals from Gaza are being stopped while we conduct a full and thorough review of the process and procedures used to issue a small number of temporary medical-humanitarian visas in recent days,” the department wrote in a statement posted to X.The announcement came after MAGA activist Laura Loomer ranted for a day how Palestinians have been entering the country via a humanitarian organization through various airports. Loomer questioned how so many Palestinians were getting visa from the State Department. Loomer said she obtained video footage of Palestinians who claim to be refugees from Gaza coming into the US via San Francisco and Houston. “The Palestinians traveled from Gaza to the US with the help of a group called ‘Heal Palestine’. How did Palestinians get visas under the Trump administration to get into the United States? Did @StateDept approve this? How did they get out of Gaza? Is @SecRubio aware of this?” Loomer ranted. According to Heal Palestine’s website, it has successfully evacuated 148 total Gazans, including 63 injured children, bringing them to the U.S. for medical care.Loomer said the administration needed to shut this before a family member of one of these Gazans turn rogue and kills Americans for Hamas. “Deeply concerned about the incoming flights – including to Texas – allegedly filled with folks from Gaza as reported by @LauraLoomer. Inquiring,” Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) wrote on Friday.Earlier this month, France suspended evacuations from Gaza after a Palestinian student allegedly shared a social media post with an image of Adolf Hitler that called for killing Jews.French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot told France Info radio that the woman “must leave the country” and that she “has no place” in France. “No evacuation of any kind will take place until we have drawn the necessary conclusions from this investigation,” Barrot said in the interview.
