Media reports say US officials have further restricted visitor visas for Palestinians, by denying them to almost all applicants who use a Palestinian passport.
The development comes days after 80 Palestinian officials were denied visas ahead of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
Earlier in August, visitor visas were paused for people hoping to travel from the Palestinian territory of Gaza. This newly-reported decree would affect a wider group - including people living in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
The Department of State did not explicitly confirm the move but said it was "taking concrete steps in compliance with US law and our national security".
