Secretary of State Marco Rubio revoked visas for several Palestinian Authority and Palestine Liberation Organization officials before the UN General Assembly. The State Department cited the groups' failure to comply with commitments and undermining peace prospects, particularly regarding terrorism and incitement. This action follows other Trump administration measures targeting Palestinians, including suspending a medical program for injured Gazan children. The Palestinian Authority condemned the move as a violation of U.S. commitments and international law, though UN mission representatives will receive waivers. President Abbas still plans to attend UN meetings.
