In a significant decision, the United Nations General Assembly has voted to permit Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to deliver his address via video link after the US denied him a visa to attend in person. This decision has drawn international attention and condemnation towards the US for its refusal to grant visas to Palestinian leaders, which many view as an infringement on their rights. Countries such as India have voiced support for this resolution, emphasizing the importance of allowing Palestinian representation at international forums. The vote reflects a growing consensus within the UN on facilitating the participation of Palestinian officials despite obstacles posed by the US.
