US Denies Abbas UNGA Visa Second Year; Grants Iranian Delegation Access

The US State Department has confirmed the denial of a visa to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas for the UN General Assembly for the second consecutive year, citing a lack of reforms and unmet peace commitments. Concurrently, the US has issued visas for senior Iranian officials, including President Pezeshkian, to attend the same assembly, despite ongoing US-Iran tensions. This divergence in US visa policy signals a hardening US posture towards Palestinian leadership while maintaining a channel for engagement with Iran.
