State Department Extends Visa Ban on Abbas, Other Palestinian Officials
Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported21m ago
The United States State Department has extended a visa ban on Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, preventing him and other Palestinian officials from traveling to New York next week for the United Nations General Assembly.
This decision marks a repeat of the Trump administration's actions from the previous year, which similarly forced Abbas to address the UN General Assembly via video link rather than in person.
