The United States has again denied an entry visa to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. As a result, he will not be able to personally attend the general debate of the UN General Assembly, which will take place next week in New York. zurnal.pravda.sk ↗
The same decision also applies to other members of the Palestinian delegation. Abbas was supposed to deliver a speech at the session on Thursday. This is the second year in a row that the United States has prevented his personal participation in the world organization's proceedings. hnonline.sk ↗
In 2025, Abbas had to deliver his address to the General Assembly via video link. According to available statements, this year's visa refusal is related to the American government's stance on the activities of Palestinian representatives. Washington claims that their actions are obstructing the peace process in the Middle East.
Despite the decision by the United States, the UN General Assembly will continue according to the planned agenda. It is not yet clear whether Abbas will again speak remotely or whether another representative of the Palestinian delegation will stand in for him. The decision also comes at a time of ongoing disputes over international recognition of Palestinian statehood and over further steps in the peace process.
