New Zealand's Immigration New Zealand (INZ) has denied claims of implementing a visa policy against Israeli nationals, stating that declined visa applications were due to applicants failing to prove their genuineness. INZ clarified that military service alone is not a reason for declined applications and that a visitor visa can be declined for various reasons. INZ also mentioned that it has prioritized visa applications for individuals living in areas impacted by the Israel-Hamas conflict. The Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa (PSNA) has called for the suspension of all visas for Israeli soldiers, sparking controversy and protests.
