Arab States Welcome Temporary Reversal of US Visa Ban

LINDA GRADSTEIN, THE MEDIALINE

 

Arab states welcomed the US appeals court ruling against a travel ban imposed by President Donald Trump.

 

“It is a move in the right direction to solve the problems that it caused,” Iraqi government spokesman, Saad al-Hadithi, said.

 

Arab airlines including Emirates, Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways said on Saturday they will allow passengers barred by President Donald Trump’s executive order to board US-bound flights after a federal judge blocked the move. US Customs & Border Protection (CBP) has advised them they can board travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries and all refugees who had been banned under the order, the airlines said in a statement.

 

Immigration lawyers are urging travelers from the seven countries – Iran, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Yemen, Libya and Sudan – to travel as quickly as possible as the travel ban could be put back anytime.
