# US rejects Abbas's visa request for UN General Assembly

The US rejected the visa applications of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and some Palestinian officials, who were expected to speak at the UN General Assembly in New York next week. The US State Department cited "non-compliance with commitments" as the reason; Abbas is expected to address the assembly by video.
