The Trump administration has barred Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and about 80 senior officials from attending next month’s United Nations General Assembly in New York, citing their push for international recognition of Palestinian statehood and alleged failure to repudiate terrorism. The U.S. State Department confirmed on Friday that visas had been revoked or denied for members of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the decision was in line with U.S. law and accused Palestinian leaders of undermining peace efforts.
