📋 Key Takeaway

The U.S. State Department has once again denied the Palestinian Authority delegation, including President Mahmoud Abbas, visas to attend the upcoming UN General Assembly in New York. This decision reflects ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Palestinian leadership. For Iran, this situation underscores its support for Palestinian statehood and opposition to U.S. policies in the region.

TEHRAN – Just like last year, the U.S. State Department has barred the Palestinian Authority delegation, including President Mahmoud Abbas, to attend the UN General Assembly in New York next week.
