Palestinian leader to address UN as peace push gathers steam
Cape Argus
|September 26, 2025
PALESTINIAN leader Mahmud Abbas was expected to address the UN virtually yesterday as the US, despite its opposition to him, weighs whether to try to stop Israeli annexation of the West Bank.
-
The veteran 89-year-old Palestinian Authority president would address the UN General Assembly three days after France led a special summit in which a slew of Western nations recognised a state of Palestine.
US President Donald Trump's administration adamantly rejected statehood and, in a highly unusual step, barred Abbas and his senior aides from traveling to New York for the annual gathering of world leaders.
The General Assembly overwhelmingly voted to let Abbas address the world body with a video message.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed not to allow a Palestinian state and far-right members of his cabinet have threatened to annex the West Bank in a bid to kill any prospect of true independence.
French President Emmanuel Macron, despite his disagreements with Trump on statehood, said this week that the US leader joined him in opposing annexation.
