Many Israelis have received a message in the last day that the American embassy in Tel Aviv has canceled their queue for a visa issuance meeting that was supposed to take place in the coming days.
This is against the background of the many congestion queues following the corona plague.
Many Israelis waited in line at the embassy for many months, and in some cases even about a year.
The current cancellations are also against the background of the spread of the omicron, with the embassy explaining that this is a step designed to prevent a risk on the part of the staff.

Many expressed disappointment at the surprising cancellation.
"I waited for seven months for this meeting and it was canceled for me with one day's notice," said one of the Israeli women whose Torah was canceled.
"I have a flight to the US, I bought tickets for April and I was sure everything would go well but unfortunately I will have to wait months again until the next meeting.
In the meantime, I booked a meeting for September.
I understand the situation and understand that they are afraid of being infected, I have no anger, just disappointment. "
It is still unclear at this time when the embassy will return to work full time.
Another question is whether the new appointments scheduled for those who have received a cancellation notice will be shortened and set for a closer date.
The US Embassy stated: "The consular sector in Tel Aviv has temporarily reduced the number of queues for a tourist visa in order to protect the safety of staff.
We understand the frustration and will work to increase occupancy when the situation allows.
We recommend visiting our site to set a new date for the meeting. "
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
