Do Israeli citizens need a US B1-B2 visa?

No, Israeli citizens are not required to obtain a traditional US B1-B2 visa for short business or tourism visits to the United States, typically up to 90 days.

Instead, they are eligible to apply for the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), allowing them to travel to the U.S. with an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization). This streamlines their entry into the States, making the journey simpler and more straightforward.
