United Nations grants Palestinian President Abbas the opportunity to address the assembly via video link, following the U.S.'s denial of a visa for him to travel.
The Trump Administration has voiced its opposition to a United Nations (UN) resolution, citing the Palestinian Authority's (PA) failure to comply with their commitments under the Oslo Accords. This stance was made clear before the vote on the resolution, with US diplomat Jonathan Shrier speaking out against the resolution.
The US's concerns are rooted in the PA's alleged breach of very basic commitments outlined in the Oslo Accords. The PA, according to the US, has undermined the prospects for peace, a critical factor in the Middle East conflict.
In a related development, the US is generally required to allow access for foreign diplomats to the UN in New York under a 1947 UN 'headquarters agreement'. However, the PA's actions have led to the US questioning this obligation.
The resolution in question was voted on at the UN General Assembly, but six countries abstained from the vote. The identities of these countries were not explicitly named in the provided search results.
It is worth noting that Washington has the authority to deny visas for reasons including security, extremism, and foreign policy. This power could potentially be used in relation to the PA, should the non-compliance with the Oslo Accords continue.
The US's stance on the matter underscores its commitment to a peaceful resolution of the Middle East conflict and its expectation for all parties involved to honour their commitments. The future of the peace process will likely depend on the PA's response to these concerns and its willingness to comply with the Oslo Accords.
