The new visa restrictions for Palestinians from Gaza, announced by the U.S. State Department, prohibit travel for medical treatments, studies, or visits to relatives. These restrictions target holders of Palestinian passports and do not apply to those with dual citizenship. The reason for these measures is unclear, but they come in the context of international statements regarding the recognition of the Palestinian state. The American administration has confirmed the implementation of these restrictions, which are perceived as a widespread rejection of visa requests.
