Abbas to contact Unga by video after revoking us the visa of the Palestinian leader

The President of the Palestinian Authority (PA), Mahmoud Abbas, is expected to address the United Nations General Assembly by video after the United States revoked his visa last month.

The UN voted last week in a vote of 145-5 to allow Abbas to speak during the main international event, after the United States accused the Palestinian management of having undermined peace efforts and prohibited entry for around 80 Palestinians.

We do not know how the address of Abbas differs from that which he gave Monday during an event co-organized by France and Saudi Arabia, during which the Palestinian chief called for an immediate ceasefire and that Hamas puts all the weapons in the AP.

“Hamas will have no role in governance, and it, as well as other factions, must put its arms to the Palestinian Authority, because we want a unified state, without arms outside the framework of the law, within the framework of a single legal system and a single legitimate security force,” he said.

“We reaffirm our condemnation of the crimes of the occupation, because we also condemn the murder and kidnapping of civilians, including what Hamas committed on October 7, 2023″, ” Abbas added.

The AP, created in 1994 following the peace agreement of the Oslo agreements with Israel, but largely sidelined after 2005, still operates in the West Bank.

The governance authority has long clashed with Hamas, which assumed de facto power in the Gaza Strip in 2007 following a violent power struggle.

But the State Department last month declared that the AP “was constantly repudening terrorism – including the massacre of October 7” before it “could be considered as partners for peace”.

AP did not play an important role in cease-fire negotiations, although Abbas thanked the United States, Qatar and Egypt on Monday for their mediation efforts with Israel.

Abbas argued that the AP “is the only legitimate authority qualified to assume full responsibility for governance and security in Gaza, through a temporary administrative committee linked to the Palestinian government in the West Bank, with Arab and international support”.

The Palestinian President said that his government had continued a “complete reform program” which “will strengthen governance, transparency and the rule of law” for Gaza.

He said that the plan developed includes the reform of financial institutions, school programs in accordance with UNESCO standards, the creation of a social protection program and the holding of presidential and parliamentary elections in the year following the end of the war.

The State Department did not immediately answer Fox News Digital Questions on the question of whether it supports the replementation of the AP.

The Trump administration has repeatedly clarified that it does not support the actions taken by other Western nations which have declared this week that it would now recognize a “state of Palestine”.
