    Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Avigdor Liberman and U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano signed a letter of intent in Jerusalem on Sunday, May 20, 2012 regarding Israel's entry into the U.S. Global Entry program, that will expedite clearance for Israeli citizens who frequently visit the United States. In return, Israel will set up a special procedure to expedite clearance for frequent American visitors upon arrival in Israel.

    “This agreement is part of the United States' strong and enduring partnership with Israel, dedicated to ensuring the safety and security of both our countries,” said Secretary Napolitano. “Global Entry will expedite the customs and security process for trusted Israeli air travelers arriving in the United States, while maintaining the highest standards of security.”

    Global Entry aims to ease the entry of foreign and American citizens to the US. Six countries are currently participating in the program - Britain, Holland, Qatar, Austria, New Zealand and Japan – and 330,000 persons  have registered.
