EU Urges US to Reconsider Visa Denial for Palestinian UN Delegation
The European Union has called on the United States to reconsider its decision to deny entry visas to members of the Palestinian delegation, including Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen. These visas are required for their participation in the upcoming United Nations General Assembly session, set to begin next week in New York.
Anouar El-Anouni, an official spokesperson for the European Commission, announced the EU's appeal. This development marks the second consecutive year that the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly intended to prevent Mahmoud Abbas from entering the United States to attend the UN General Assembly.
