Abbas attends UN meetings virtually after visa denial
The United Nations General Assembly voted in favor of allowing Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Palestinian officials to participate via video in UN meetings after the United States refused to grant them visas to enter New York. The resolution received support from 152 countries, with 3 voting against it and 4 abstaining. Under the resolution, Palestinian officials will be able to participate virtually next year if they cannot travel to the United States. This comes after Washington extended visa restrictions on several Palestinian officials, including Abbas, limiting their ability to attend in person.
