For the first time ever, the US Embassy in Israel to open temporary offices in Israeli towns outside of the Green Line to offer consular services to US citizens
The United States Embassy in Israel is slated to offer consular services in Israeli towns beyond the Green Line, marking the first time ever that the US State Department has operated in Israeli settlements.
On Tuesday, the Embassy announced that starting this Friday, it will be conducting a series of on-site consular service “outreaches” at seven locations across Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
The consular service visits will last only one day each, and will span the Israeli cities of Jerusalem, Haifa, Netanya and Beit Shemesh, inside the Green Line, along with one Palestinian Authority-administered city – Ramallah – and two Israeli communities in Judea: Efrat and Beitar Illit.
