Abbas Addresses UN Remotely After US Denial
The United Nations General Assembly approved allowing Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to deliver his speech via video conference at the annual leaders' meeting, for the second consecutive year. This came after the United States refused to grant him a visa to enter New York. It was decided that Abbas, along with other Palestinian officials, would participate via video conference throughout the next year if travel restrictions prevent them from attending in person. The U.S. State Department also confirmed the extension of visa ban measures against Palestinian Authority officials, accusing them of supporting activities deemed terrorist by Washington, as well as pursuing unilateral recognition of the State of Palestine.
