GA approves Palestine's UN participation
The United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution allowing Palestine to participate in the general debates of its 81st session through a recorded message to be displayed in the hall, following a vote in which 152 countries supported it, while 3 opposed and 4 abstained. This comes within an international stance affirming Palestine's right to active participation. Meanwhile, the UN expressed regret over the United States' decision to bar the Palestinian delegation from attending, considering it a violation of the host agreement. The United States extended sanctions and blocked entry visas for Palestinian delegation members, claiming they violated American obligations. The General Assembly called on Washington to reverse its decision, emphasizing that Palestine's in-person participation is essential to ensure its full representation in the organization's meetings.
