Palestinian President Abbas Criticizes Visa Denial and Condemns Israel
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas used a pre-recorded video address at the UN General Assembly in New York to criticize the United States for denying visas to his delegation, calling it a violation of host country obligations. Abbas stated that Palestinians face one of the most dangerous periods in their history due to Israeli actions in Gaza and the West Bank. He urged the international community to stop supplying weapons to Israel and to implement a two-state solution. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in New York for a brief speech, reflecting his diminished popularity compared to previous years.
