The Palestinian Authority’s head of delegation, Mahmoud Abbas, delivered a speech to the United Nations General Assembly via video conference. This decision was made following a denial of a visa by the United States, which is a key ally of Israel. Abbas’s delegation communicated with the General Assembly, addressing members and outlining their demands. The absence of a visa previously required for travel and official visits represents a significant challenge to the PA’s diplomatic initiatives and potential engagement with international actors.
