Trump admin blocks Abbas at UN
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump intends to prevent Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas from entering the United States to participate in the United Nations General Assembly meetings scheduled for September. This would be the second consecutive year, continuing the visa restrictions imposed last year. Reports confirm that Washington refuses to issue visas for Abbas and 80 Palestinian officials due to disagreements over the Palestinian Authority’s stance on the Gaza war and the path toward Palestinian state recognition. Although Abbas requested Turkish President Erdogan to intervene and revoke the decision, Washington remains firm in maintaining restrictions on Palestinian officials' entry. As a result, the United Nations may be forced to allow Abbas to participate via video link, as happened last year. The Palestinian side views this move as a violation of U.S. commitments under the 1947 Headquarters Agreement and international organization regulations. If the ban continues, diplomatic tensions within the United Nations are likely to escalate, with the possibility of Abbas participating via video link amid deteriorating U.S.-Palestinian relations concerning Gaza’s future and the recognition of a Palestinian state.
