Palestinian Leader Abbas Denied US Visa for UN Summit Again
The Trump administration has denied Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas a US visa to attend the upcoming UN General Assembly, citing a lack of reforms and accusations that the Palestinian Authority undermines peace. The State Department cited payments to terrorists and glorification of violence in textbooks as reasons. Abbas may still address the assembly via video link, but the denial prevents bilateral meetings at the New York headquarters.
