Diplomacy Palestinian Authority president to address UN
The Guardian
|September 20, 2025
The UN general assembly has voted to allow Mahmoud Abbas to address next week’s annual gathering of world leaders in New York via video after Donald Trump said he would not give him a US visa.
The resolution received 145 votes in favour and five votes against, while six countries abstained.
The US has refused to grant visas for as many as 90 members of a Palestinian delegation due to attend both a one-day conference on Monday on a two-state solution as well as the UN general assembly high-level week that starts on Tuesday.
