Israeli Security Minister Ben-Gvir cancels US trip after visa difficulties
Itamar Ben-Gvir, known for provocative actions, reportedly calls off family visit after being asked to appear in person for biometric fingerprinting
TEL AVIV, Israel (MNTV) – Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has canceled a planned family trip to the US amid difficulties in obtaining a visa, according Israeli media on Tuesday.
The US Embassy told Ben-Gvir that he would need to appear in person to provide biometric fingerprints as part of the visa process, Haaretz daily reported.
The requirement was interpreted in Israeli media reports as a sign of reluctance to grant him a visa.
Ben-Gvir has frequently made headlines for his provocative actions, particularly in Jerusalem — visiting Al-Aqsa mosque with supporters –issuing incendiary statements against Muslim, which have drawn widespread criticism and international condemnation.
