Why haven’t the turds at the U.S. embassies in El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico done this same thing? Don’t those morons know that those places are war zones and are so dangerous that even the M13 gangbangers don’t want to live there? All of the M13 types are running up here to get the border patrol to change their diapers it’s so scary down there.

Security has always very tight at the consulate. I took photos of it across the street three years ago and the guards ran across the street and made me erase the photos.

This has everything to do with revenge-politics between the State of Israel and the US State Dept. Obama is pissed, Kerry is pissed off at the Netanyahu government so they stopped issuing VISAs. That's REAL MATURE guys. What a loser administration...

This is insane!!!

US has stopped issuing visas to Israelis, except in emergencies

Move is due to staff reductions at the embassy in light of the security situation

The US embassy in Tel Aviv is not issuing travel visas to Israelis until further notice except in emergency cases.

In a statement, the embassy said it is only issuing urgent visas, and applicants can email the embassy to see if their circumstances fit that definition. The cause of the delay is that the embassy has reduced its staff due to the security situation, and there are not enough employees to conduct the personal interview stage of the process.

The reduction is staff is a precaution during wartime, to reduce the number of those affected in case of a direct attack.

Even in emergency cases, the embassy said issuing a visa could take two to three days at least.

In a related development, there are reports that residents of countries like Ireland and China are having trouble getting travel visas to the US because of a problem with the US Immigration Authority`s database. Some observers have speculated that the problem resulted from an attack by hackers.

A week ago, the US State Department issued a travel warning to US citizens against travelling to Israel and the West Bank. Most other countries that issued travel warnings, including Japan and Australia, merely warned their citizens not to visit within 40 km of the border with Gaza, as well as not to visit Gaza City itself.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry has also issued a travel warning to Israelis who wish to visit Turkey, due to the tense atmosphere there since the beginning of Operation Protective Edge.

Interesting. As I understand it the Embassy in Tel Aviv, can't put it in Jerusalem for fear of offending Arabs, deals with Israelis and most issues for Americans in Israel. Yes, it's clearly stated on the Embassy site that tourist visas and routine problems for American citizens won't be dealt with.

Important Notice

Due to the current security situation in Tel Aviv, U.S. Embassy Tel Aviv remains open but is operating at reduced staffing until further notice, and has canceled routine visa application processing and American Citizen services. Emergencies involving an American citizen and visa applications will be considered on a case by case basis. If you had a scheduled visa appointment, you will receive an email informing you of the appointment cancellation, and another email with a new scheduled appointment. If the appointment is not convenient for you, you may reschedule your appointment through the scheduling system. You are not required to pay a new fee. We will update the website and our facebook on any developments. To ask for an emergency appointment, please email NIVTelAviv@state.gov (for visas) or AMCTelAviv@state.gov (for U.S. Citizens Services) and explain the nature of your emergency. We will respond to your email quickly with additional instructions.

We also have a consulate in Jerusalem. It deals with residents of the Palestinian Authority, also I'm told Israeli arabs. Doubt that's official, I'm sure an American citizen visiting Israel could access their services. Don't know if an Israeli could get a tourist visa there, maybe, but a palestinian could.

Assuming it's too dangerous to service Israelis and American citizens in Tel Aviv, I thought I'd check the Jerusalem Consulate's website to see if they used the same text but surprise, I can't find it. Solicitations to visit the US are there, but no notice of the suspension of visa issuance. I'm sure the rules are the same, they just forgot to tell the palestinians. Then again, maybe it's only Israeli tourists we don't want at the present time.

But is the rainbow flag still flying there? Because that's what's important.
