Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

U.S. denies visas to Palestinian officials ahead of UN General Assembly, allowing Abbas to speak via video. The move follows a two-year ban on Palestinian delegation travel to New York.

Palestinian Authority and PLO face visa restrictions due to alleged failures to reform and undermine peace efforts. Abbas, a key UN figure, is among those barred from U.S. entry.

The U.S. decision conflicts with international efforts to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, drawing criticism from France and others. UN allows Abbas to address assembly via video for second consecutive year.

U.S. and Israel object to PA's payment system for families of imprisoned Palestinians, citing concerns over political affiliations and terrorism.
