As world leaders are preparing to gather in New York for the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September, one nation will not have any representatives: the Palestinian people. That is because the United States Department of State has decided to deny visas to Palestinian officials seeking to attend the UNGA session.
Since 1947, the US has mostly honoured its “headquarters agreement” with the UN, granting visas — albeit limited in scope — to officials from around the world invited to attend UN meetings. There have been occasions, however, where the US has used its position as a UNGA host to deny visas to foreign diplomats from countries it wished to isolate, such as Russia, Iran, Venezuela and others.
In the case of Palestine, this is not the first time Palestinian leaders have faced a visa denial. In 1988, Yasser Arafat, the leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), was also not allowed to come to the UN to participate in the UNGA, with the US government justifying its decision with “security threats.
It is important to remember that the PA was created by the 1993 Oslo Accords, which were signed at the White House by Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, with US President Bill Clinton hosting the ceremony. In the following years, the PA received substantial support from Washington, including a significant amount of funds, and went along with any US-led peace initiative.
In this regard, to accuse the PA of “undermining the prospects for peace” is simply absurd. The reason for the visa denials clearly lies elsewhere.
By contrast, Israeli War Criminal Benjamin Netanyahu will be welcomed with open arms in the US. Despite the International Criminal Court (ICC) issuing a warrant for his arrest, war criminal Netanyahu has been the most frequent guest at the White House since Trump’s inauguration; he will also be in attendance at the UNGA. Curiously, in 2013, the US government denied a visa to Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, citing his ICC arrest warrant.

Everything you need to know about the Flotilla
The Global Sumud Flotilla for Gaza has set out towards Gaza after a false start on Sunday.
Hundreds of people are on board about 15 vessels, including journalists, doctors, politicians, humanitarians and activists from 44 countries.
The flotilla’s planned first stop is Tunisia, where they will link up with other ships.
They will be joined by more boats from Italy and other undisclosed ports in an effort to break Israel’s illegal siege on Gaza, which is starving Palestinians to death as Israel’s war on Gaza continues.
The volunteers hope to transport much-needed food and medicine to besieged Palestinians and to open a humanitarian corridor, allowing more civilian vessels to follow.
This is the largest effort to break Israel’s siege on Gaza and follows previous attempts dating back to 2010. Israel intercepted and sometimes attacked past flotillas.

Sumud Flotilla perseveres, departs Barcelona despite bad weather
The Global Sumud Flotilla has departed Barcelona on Monday evening after having had to return to port on Sunday due to bad weather.
Conditions are still far from ideal, with six of the smaller vessels already having had to return to port for repairs.

‘It’s not about us, it’s about Gaza’
Before departing from Barcelona on Sunday, hundreds of volunteers on the Sumud Flotilla stressed that the “news story” is not them, but the hundreds of thousands of people dying from Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
“We are not heroes. We are not the story. The story is about the people of Gaza,” said Thiago Avila, a lifelong activist for Palestine and an organiser for the flotilla.
Many others on board the Flotilla echoed that sentiment and stressed that they were compelled to join the flotilla due to the distressing and horrific images of Palestinian children being relentlessly killed and starved to death.
“I love my daughter so much, as the mothers and fathers in Gaza [love their children], and because of this love. We cannot leave a world like this,” said Avila.

The U.S. has suspended visa approvals for nearly all Palestinian passport holders, expanding Trump’s earlier restrictions on Gaza. The suspension would prevent Palestinians from travelling to the United States for medical treatment, family reunification, and attending college and business travel.
So, America doesn’t want Palestinians to visit the U.S., yet it wants to take over Gaza and force Palestinians out of their own land!

With his left hand amputatd, a Palestinian child struggles to carry a container of water inside a school sheltering displaced families in western Gaza City.
Gaza City endured its harshest night since the beginning of the genocide. Israeli occupation forces carried out wide-scale demolitions and explosions of homes from the early hours of the night in Sheikh Radwan, Al-Zaytoun, and Al-Sabra neighborhoods.
Indiscriminate artillery fire also struck densely populated areas, while ambulances and tents of displaced families were set ablaze with incendiary bombs.
