Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported27m ago
The United States State Department announced on Wednesday that it is extending visa sanctions to deny entry to members of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and officials of the Palestinian Authority (PA). The decision comes just days before the United Nations General Assembly is scheduled to convene in New York.
Reports indicate that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has been denied an entry visa to attend the upcoming assembly. While the State Department's official statement did not explicitly name Abbas, the policy change specifically targets Palestinian leadership and organizational representatives.
