[Palestinian representatives were denied visas to attend the United Nations General Assembly. The European Union urges the United States to reconsider relevant decisions] On September 19th, the European Union issued a statement on the 19th local time, expressing regret that the United States refused to issue entry visas to members of the Palestinian delegation for the second consecutive year, preventing them from participating in the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly to be held in New York. The EU pointed out that in view of the existing headquarters agreement signed between the United States and the United Nations and the obligations of the United States as a host country, it urged the United States to reconsider this decision. Palestinian President Abbas plans to travel to New York to attend the United Nations General Assembly next week, but the United States has once again refused to issue a visa to him. This is the second consecutive year that the United States has rejected Abbas's visa application. On the 17th, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution to allow Palestine to participate in relevant United Nations meetings through video conferencing or pre-recorded speeches in the context of the United States' refusal to issue visas to Palestinian President Abbas and some Palestinian officials.
