Washington denies Abbas visa for Assembly
The United States has denied Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas a visa once again for the second consecutive time, preventing him from personally attending next week's United Nations General Assembly meetings in New York. A U.S. statement announced the extension of sanctions that prohibit issuing visas to members of the Palestinian Liberation Organization and PA officials, citing their failure to implement reforms and activities that hinder peace prospects. As a result, Abbas is expected to participate via video conference, as the United Nations explores ways to facilitate virtual participation.
