Washington denies UN visit visas again
The United States has refused for the second consecutive year to grant Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and his accompanying delegation visas to attend the United Nations General Assembly meetings scheduled in New York next month. The U.S. State Department confirmed that the decision is due to the Palestinian Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority’s failure to implement reforms and honor previous commitments, in addition to their continued activities that Washington considers obstructive to the peace process, including support for "terrorism" and internationalization of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Despite the visa restrictions, Palestinians will participate through their accredited diplomats at the United Nations, according to a U.S. statement, amidst international divergence on the issue—some countries, such as France, support recognizing a Palestinian state, with France having expressed its support for a Palestinian state within the international organization in 2024.
