United States–Israel Strategic Partnership Act of 2013 : ウィキペディア英語版 | United States–Israel Strategic Partnership Act of 2013
United States–Israel Strategic Partnership Act of 2013 (; ) are almost identical bills introduced to the 113th United States Congress. ==Background== The United States and Israel do not have a formal treaty of alliance, as the US does with other nations, and it is under no obligation to come to Israel’s defense. However, the US does refer to Israel and other nations without treaties as allies.〔(War talk on Iran forces the issue: Is Israel a formal US ally? ), Christian Science Monitor, March 2, 2012.〕 The US has supported Israel with foreign aid, providing nearly $3 billion in grants annually to Israel since 1985; Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of US foreign aid since World War II.〔(U.S. Foreign Aid to Israel ) (Adapted from the summary of a report by Jeremy M. Sharp, specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs. September 16, 2010)〕 Israel applied to join the US government's Visa Waiver Program in 2005. The program permits citizens of selected countries to enter the US for up to 90 days without having to apply for an entry visa. The Senate rejected the bid because not all Israeli citizens own a biometric passport, the entry visa rejection rate for Israelis exceeded 3%, and Israel insists on stricter security checks for Palestinian Americans than other American citizens.〔Yitzhak Benhorin, (US Congress to debate visa exemption for Israelis ), Ynetnews, January 11, 2013.〕 Israeli officials state that US citizens are free to travel to the United States. However, many Americans with Muslim or Arab names have been turned away from Israel without explanation. The US State Department states that “U.S. citizens whom Israeli authorities suspect of being of Arab, Middle Eastern, or Muslim origin” may be denied “entry or exit without explanation.”〔
