This collection is related to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the United States and the Government of Israel (GOI) on the Extension of Reciprocal Privileges and the Visa Waiver Program, and is for the purposes of monitoring the GOIâs implementation of its commitments in the MOU to treat all U.S. citizens seeking to enter Israel without regard to national origin, religion or ethnicity.
On July 18, the Government of Israel notified the U.S. government that it planned to announce new travel requirements on July 19, and that they would go into effect on July 20. As there was only two days' notice, the Department was unable to engage in a public comment period to solicit input on the survey.
