US Visa Revocations for Palestinian Officials Deepen UN Assembly Tensions

                            It was unclear if Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas was included in the restrictions.



The United States has confirmed it will deny or revoke visas for several Palestinian officials ahead of next month’s United Nations General Assembly in New York, a move that has drawn condemnation from Ramallah and heightened diplomatic friction.

The State Department said the restrictions target members of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian Authority (PA), accusing them of failing to repudiate terrorism while seeking “unilateral recognition” of a Palestinian state. The announcement comes as key US allies — including Britain, France, Australia, and Canada — have pledged to formally recognize Palestine during the summit, despite opposition from Washington and Israel.

It remains unclear whether Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is personally affected, though his office has called the decision a violation of the UN Headquarters Agreement, which generally obliges the US to grant access to foreign diplomats.

The move could significantly reduce the size of the Palestinian delegation at a high-profile gathering already set against the backdrop of Israel’s war in Gaza, mounting humanitarian concerns, and growing frustration among Western nations over stalled peace efforts.
