- Lew told Hanegbi that Israel is violating the visa waiver agreement by not allowing Palestinian Americans from the West Bank to enter the country and asked that steps be taken to ensure it is adhering to the agreement, the U.S. and Israeli officials said.
- Hanegbi told the U.S. ambassador the closure was imposed for security reasons and committed to look into the issue and try to find a solution, according to an Israeli official.
- The State Department declined to comment.
- But the official stressed that if Israel doesn't find a solution within weeks, the U.S. might have to suspend Israel's visa waiver privileges.
