Zuheir Abu Shaaban holds his Palestinian passport, stamped with a visa from the United States, which was later revoked, in Gaza, Tuesday, Aug. 5, 2008. Abu Shaaban was initially accepted into a U.S. Fullbright scholarship program, but an Israeli-led closure of the Gaza Strip prevented him from leaving. After international pressure, US officials intervened to facilitate Abu Shaaban and several other Fullbright scholars to leave the coastal trip, only to later deny them entry into the US for apparent security reasons.
