Trump administration again denies visas for Palestinian delegation to attend the UN General Assembly
The Trump administration has denied visas for Palestinian officials to attend the United Nations General Assembly for a second consecutive year. The State Department said it is continuing this visa ban because Palestinian governing and political groups have taken actions to internationalize the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, including pursuing cases in international tribunals. Palestinian leaders are unable to participate in this major annual meeting of world leaders as a result.
