The European Union has called on the United States to lift travel restrictions preventing a Palestinian delegation from attending the UN General Assembly session, according to Al Jazeera English. The appeal comes as the body prepares to convene, with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas set to deliver remarks through a prerecorded video instead of appearing in person.
The travel ban has forced the Palestinian leadership to resort to alternative methods of participation in the assembly proceedings.
