In a controversial move, the US State Department has halted all visitor visas for residents of Gaza, a decision sparked by a significant backlash from right-wing figures, particularly influencer Laura Loomer. Following claims made by Loomer regarding Palestinian refugees entering US airports, the State Department initiated a review of its visa issuance process. This suspension raises concerns regarding the humanitarian impact on Gazan children in need of medical care, prompting criticisms from organizations like CAIR, which describe the ban as intentional cruelty and complicity with genocide. The decision has led to widespread outcry and fears of devastating consequences for those seeking urgent assistance.
