US to block Mahmoud Abbas from attending UN General Assembly

According to a New York Post report, internal State Department documents recommend barring Palestinian Authority representatives from entering the UN General Assembly in New York. The recommendation includes revoking visas issued before July 31. This marks the first time the US has denied an entire foreign delegation entry, a move that could be seen as a violation of its host country agreement with the UN.
