One step closer to Israel The US seems to come, with the refusal to give visa to Palestinian officials who are going to attend his general meeting UN.
The United States announced today 29.08.2025 the refusal to administer a visa to their territory to members of the Palestinian Authority in New York for the UN General Assembly in September.
At the 80th UN General Assembly, France will be held from September 9th to September 23rd, is expected to be in favor of the recognition of the Palestinian state, which other countries have officially done.
“Foreign Minister Marco Rubio recalls and refuses to administer entry for members of the Palestinian (OPA) and Palestinian Authority in view of the upcoming UN General Assembly,” the State Department said.
This extraordinary measure brings the Trump government even closer to the Israeli government, which categorically rejects the idea of a Palestinian state and is trying to equalize the Palestinian authority, which is based in Ramamala, the West Bank, with Hamas in Gaza.
As the announcement states, “the Trump government was clear: it is in the interest of our national security to consider the organization for the liberation of Palestine and the Palestinian Authority accountable for non -compliance with their commitments and the stakes of peace perspectives.”
The US Foreign Ministry has accused Palestinians of using justice for unfair purposes, appealing to the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice to resolve their disputes with Israel.
The Palestinian Authority must put an end to “efforts to bypass the negotiations through international judicial wars” and “efforts to have unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state,” the statement added.
The US should not deny visa to officials going to the UN, whose headquarters are in New York, based on an agreement that the Foreign Ministry assures that it also keeps the Palestinian mission to the UN.
