US denies visas to Palestinian Authority leaders for UN general assembly | United Nations
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Friday, in front of the United Nations General Assembly meeting in September, the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and Palestinian authority (PA) members began to reject and cancel visas.
“The Trump administration was open: in our national security interests because they did not comply with the commitments of the FKÖ and PA and weaken their expectations of peace,” he said.
The new measure rejects a Palestinian state that rejects Donald Trump’s administration even more harmoniously with the Israel’s right -wing government. Israeli officials have repeatedly equalized the broad secular PA, which implemented partial authority in the occupied West Bank, with its bitter Islamist rival Hamas.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs accused the Palestinians for “Lawfare iyle, using a period that uses a period that used a period to distribute legal problems while out of the office, looking for complaints against Israel in the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice.
He urged PA to abandon the efforts of a Palestinian state to be recognized unilaterally ”.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar thanked the Trump administration in a mission in X to “this brave step and once again to stand by Israel”.
It is unclear whether Mahmud Abbas, Head of Palestinian Authority, has been included in restrictions. Abbas plans to go to New York to offer an address to the United Nations General Assembly.
PA’s Ambassador of UN Riyadh Mansour, told reporters, what the new US measurement means and how it is valid for our delegation, and we will answer accordingly, ”he said.
The UN spokesman Stéphane Dujarric said that it was “important ği to represent all states and observers containing Palestinians at a summit planned the day before the general assembly. Dujarric said, “Frankly, we hope that this will be solved,” Dujarric said.
The US statement, which justifies the new measures, reiterated frequently repeated claims by Israeli officials.
“Before being seen as a partner for peace and PA peace, he should constantly reject terrorism, including the October 7 massacre and encourage terrorism in education.”
The PLO was founded in 1964 as an umbrella organization for Palestinian factions, and ten years later he recognized it as the only political representative of the Palestinian people. Almost 20 years later, PA was founded as a temporary organ that will provide a institutional framework for the Palestinian state.
Both are likely to be an integral part of any future Palestinian states. Arab forces, the United Kingdom, European countries and others, if the conflict ends, they accept that they need to reform, but they want PA to take a central role in Gaza administration.
Australia, Canada, England and France will recognize a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly next month with a movement that infuriated Israel.
The Israeli government rejected any role for PA in Gaza, and said that this recognition was “Hamas rewarded terrible terrorism”.
Although the Israeli government is under pressure at home and abroad to end its attack in Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the military forces to start an attack to seize the City of Gaza. Once a great commercial and cultural center was reduced to remains and host hundreds of thousands of poor Palestinians after repeated martial tours.
The Israeli attack has killed 63,000 people, mostly civilians, and 150,000 injured and displaced the majority of the population. Last week, the UN declared a famine in and around Gaza, and accused the “systematic obstacle ın by Israel’s humanitarian delivery.
Avichay Adraee, an Israeli military spokesman, said, “We have started the first stages of the attack on the City of Gaza and we are currently working with great power at the foot of the city.”
The war was triggered by Hamas with a surprise attack on Israel in October 2023, which often killed civilians and saw that 251 was kidnapped. There are about 50 hostages in Gaza, which are still alive.
Within the scope of an agreement hosting the UN in New York, the US should not reject their visas for the general assembly, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs insisted that the Palestinian mission was allowed to participate.
Every year, activists print the United States to reject visas to the leaders of the countries they opposed on great human rights violations, but their objections are almost always rejected.
In a historical step in 1988, the general assembly gathered in Geneva instead of New York to hear Plo leader Yasser Arafat after refusing to allow permission in New York.
