  • The Trump administration has ordered a halt to new student visa interviews as it considers requiring foreign students to undergo social media vetting as part of their application to study in the United States, Politico reported on Tuesday, citing a diplomatic cable.

The U.S. has temporarily stopped conducting student visa interviews at its embassy in Jerusalem and its consulate in Tel Aviv due to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, as reported by the State Department on October 19, 2023. This suspension affects students planning to study in the U.S. for the upcoming academic year, with the embassy and consulate prioritizing the safety of their staff amidst the regional instability. The U.S. is also facilitating the departure of American citizens from the area, with the conflict causing significant disruptions, including the closure of Israel's main airport and the halting of commercial flights.
