Original Sources for this Claim (2)
All source submissions that originally contained this claim.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a ban on visas for Palestinian officials attending the UN General Assembly. The move is seen as an attempt to weaken discussions on Palestinian statehood. The ban applies to officials from the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization.
The U.S. has suspended approvals of almost all types of visitor visas for Palestinian passport holders, impacting travel for medical treatment, university studies, and visiting relatives. The move follows declarations by U.S. allies to recognize a Palestinian state and is seen as a broad rejection of visa requests.
