Adam Shapiro, advocacy director at Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN) discusses the federal lawsuit filed against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) by
the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) regarding admitting Israel to the U.S. Visa Waiver Program, stating that it is not following the law in applying the definition of reciprocity for Israel.
The Waiver has also drawn strong pushback from 4 Democratic Senators who wrote that Israel has failed to meet the requirements of reciprocity for U.S. citizens with Palestinian residency.
