US blocks Palestinian officials from UN General Assembly visas
TL;DR Summary
US visas were denied to Palestinian Authority and PLO officials ahead of the U.N. General Assembly, citing failures to reform and ongoing actions undermining peace—a second consecutive year of visa bans that complicates Palestinian–US ties; Abbas could still address the Assembly via video if allowed, as the UN votes on such a statement, with waivers for PLO observers under the UN HQ treaty.
