The Palestinian government has criticized and rejected a decision by the United States to deny entry visas to Palestinian Authority President Mahmud Abbas and other senior officials. The officials intended to travel to New York to participate in a United Nations debate.
According to the Palestinian leadership, the U.S. refusal to grant the travel documents is an unjustifiable measure. The reports also note that this action represents an extension of existing U.S. sanctions affecting the Palestinian leadership's ability to attend diplomatic proceedings at the UN.
