U.S. Says It Erred in Case of Gaza Strip Students

[Reuters/Ynet News ] The U.S. said on Monday it had erred by not approaching the Israeli government earlier to help seven Palestinians from Gaza obtain Israeli exit visas to take up U.S. Fulbright fellowships. "Was there a faulty decision-making process internal to the State Department in this particular case? Yes, there was," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said.
