Last week, I wrote about 7 Gaza students who had their Fulbright Scholarships revoked on account that they could not obtain visas to leave Gaza.
The Associated Press is now reporting that four of the seven have been allowed by Israel to travel to Jerusalem to apply for student visas so they may study in the US. However, Israel would still not let the three other students leave Gaza as Israel officials deemed the students as "security risks."
Hopefully, in the coming days, all seven students will be able to leave Gaza and obtain visas so they may pursue studies in the US.
