expected to recognize a Palestinian state<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n\n According to Friday\u2019s announcement from the State Department, the Palestinian Authority\u2019s Mission to the UN \u201cwill receive waivers per the UN Headquarters Agreement.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n However, the restrictions could prevent the attendance of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and is likely to severely limit the Palestinian presence at the annual global summit as the war in Gaza continues and a number of key allies prepare to recognize a Palestinian state.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cToday the Trump Administration is announcing it will deny and revoke visas from members of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian Authority (PA) ahead of the upcoming UN General Assembly per U.S. law,\u201d State Department deputy spokesperson Tommy Pigott said on X.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cBefore we take them seriously as partners in peace, the PA and PLO must completely reject terrorism and stop counterproductively pursuing the unilateral recognition of a hypothetical state,\u201d he said.\n <\/p>\n
\n CNN has asked for more details about the announcement, including how many will have their visas revoked.\n <\/p>\n
\n In July, the State Department announced sanctions that would deny visas to the US to unnamed PA and PLO officials.\n <\/p>\n
\n The move also appears to be a further step to punish those involved in international tribunals\u2019 probes of alleged crimes committed by Israel.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe PA must also end its attempts to bypass negotiations through international lawfare campaigns, including appeals to the ICC and ICJ, and efforts to secure the unilateral recognition of a conjectural Palestinian state,\u201d Friday\u2019s statement said.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Facebook Tweet Email Link The US State Department is \u201cdenying and revoking visas\u201d from members of the Palestinian…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":382882,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5311],"tags":[49,978,659],"class_list":{"0":"post-382881","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-united-states","8":"tag-united-states","9":"tag-us","10":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115113005198172413","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=382881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382881\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/382882"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=382881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=382881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=382881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
