🔻Rights groups sue US over lack of transparency on Israel's entry into visa waiver programme.

Groups demand answers from the US on why Israel was allowed into visa programme, despite claims of discrimination against Palestinian Americans.

Several rights and civil liberties groups on Friday filed a lawsuit in US court demanding that the American government comply with a request for information regarding the recent agreement to allow Israel into the visa waiver programme.

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, submitted in October by the law firm Van Der Hout LLP, sought information from several federal agencies on Israel's memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the US, which entered the country into the US's visa waiver initiative.

The firm said it received no information regarding its request and had not heard from the Biden administration since November.
