Lack of visas will seriously limit the presence of Palestine representatives in the UN at the session, which begins on September 9.
– Before we start treating Palestinian autonomy and the organization of Palestine's liberation seriously as partners in the room, they must completely reject terrorism and cease counterproductive actions aimed at the unilateral recognition of the hypothetical state – said the deputy spokesman for the Department of State Tommy Pigott.
“Palestinian autonomy must also stop attempting to avoid negotiations through international legal campaigns, including referring to the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice, as well as efforts to ensure the unilateral recognition of the alleged Palestinian state” – you can read in the Friday statement of the department.
The decision of the US authorities on Friday was commented on by a representative of Palestine at the UN RIJAD Mansur, indicating that “he will answer [na nią] in a suitable way. “
CNN notes that the American Department of State has already announced the first sanctions in July, at which the anonymous power of Palestinian autonomy and the IPP was refused to issue visas to the USA. The station adds that the latest decision can be another step, which aims to punish people involved in investigating international tribunals regarding the crimes committed by Israel.
PLO is a political organization that considers herself a representative of the Palestinian nation. She created Palestinian autonomy, assuming that it would be a transient administrative structure, managing Palestinians until the establishment of a sovereign state in the Gaza Strip, on the west shore of Jordan and Eastern Jerusalem. These organizations are dominated by the nationalist secular Fatah party, headed by Abbas.
Palestinian autonomy administers part of the Western shore occupied by Israel. The autonomy also includes the Gaza Zone, but since 2007 it has been managed by Islamist Hamas, which took control of this territory after the armed conflict with Fatahem.
