30because on this day atonement will be made for you to cleanse you, and you will be clean from all your sins before the LORD.
31It is a Sabbath of complete rest for you, that you may humble yourselves; it is a permanent statute. 32The priest who is anointed and ordained to succeed his father as high priest shall make atonement. He will put on the sacred linen garmentsCross References

Leviticus 16:30 Summary
[Leviticus 16:30 tells us that on this special day, atonement would be made for the Israelites to cleanse them from their sins, and they would be clean before the LORD. This points to the ultimate atonement made by Jesus Christ, as seen in Romans 5:10-11. Through faith in Jesus, we can be cleansed from all our sins and be made righteous in God's sight (1 John 1:9). As we reflect on this verse, let us remember that we are called to humble ourselves before the LORD and seek His forgiveness and cleansing, just like the Israelites did on this special day (Leviticus 16:29).]

Is the atonement in Leviticus 16:30 only for the Israelites or for all people?

Gill's Exposition on Leviticus 16:30
For on that day shall [the priest] make an atonement for you to cleanse you,.... By offering the sin offering for them; typical of the sacrifice of Christ, whose soul was made an offering for sin
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 16:30
And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or
Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 16:30
Leviticus 16:30 For on that day shall [the priest] make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, [that] ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD.Ver. 30. That ye may be clean from all your sins.] And so God may turn your fasting into feasting, as Zechariah 8:19. The joyful jubilee was begun and proclaimed in this same tenth day.
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 16:30
(30) For on that day shall the priest make an atonement.—Literally, For on that day he shall make atonement for you, which may either be the Lord, who is mentioned in the next clause, or, more probably, the high priest, who is mentioned five verses before. (See Leviticus 16:25, and especially Leviticus 16:32.) That ye may be clean . . . —Better, you shall be clean, &c. Because it is here said “you shall be clean from all your sins before the Lord,” the administrators of the law in the time of Christ declared that only the sins which a man commits before, i.e., against the Lord, are atoned for on the Day of Atonement, but the sins which man commits against his fellow man are not forgiven on this day unless we have first satisfied our injured neighbour, and have obtained pardon from him. Again, he who sinneth in the hope that he will obtain absolution on the Day of Atonement, for him there is no forgiveness on this day.
Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 16:30
Statute of yearly atonement (29–34) On the annual Day of Atonement the people are to practise self-denial and to abstain from work. According to Benzinger this section forms an original and independent law (with the exception of 34 b), involving a simple rite for expiation of guilt, and afterwards combined with directions as to the conditions under which the high priest should enter the Holy of Holies. See App. p. 163.
Whedon's Commentary on Leviticus 16:30
30. To cleanse you — This cleansing was, 1.) a restoration of the worshipper to membership and communion with the congregation of Israel; and, 2.) the pretermission or Old Testament forgiveness of
