Palestinian Minister Denounces President’s UN Absence
The Palestinian Foreign Minister, Faris Shahin, confirmed that the absence of President Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian delegation from the United Nations General Assembly for the second consecutive year is unacceptable and contradicts international labor laws, as participation of member states is a guaranteed right under binding agreements. She stated that the United States is ignoring Israel’s unprecedented violations over the past three years, while the Palestinian Authority continues to implement transparent reforms. She pointed out that resorting to international institutions and following international law is a legitimate right, and that Palestine is committed to its right to self-determination and establishing an independent state, especially amidst heightened international engagement and shifting European positions. She also clarified that the outcomes of the Israeli elections will impact the Palestinian people, and that real change must take place in policies dating back to 1948. Shahin emphasized that Palestine is ready for elections despite the need for a suitable environment that includes Jerusalem, Gaza, and the West Bank. On another note, the U.S. State Department announced an extension of visa restrictions on Palestinian Authority officials, accusing the Authority and the PLO of pushing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict onto the international stage, including through the International Criminal Court, and of supporting "terrorists."
