Abbas addresses UN Assembly by recorded message after visa denial
The Palestinian president spoke from Ramallah after the United States denied visas to him and other senior Palestinian officials for a second consecutive year, France 24 reported.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas delivered prerecorded remarks to the United Nations General Assembly from his office in Ramallah on Thursday, after being unable to attend in person.
France 24 reported that the United States denied visas to Abbas and other senior Palestinian officials for the second year in a row. The report did not state the reasons for the denials.
Abbas said Palestinians faced “one of the most dangerous times” in their history, framing the situation as a threat to the Palestinian people.
The supplied account does not include the full address or detail its other points. It therefore leaves the broader policy content of the speech unclear.
