The U.S. State Department has announced that Palestinians will not be allowed to attend the United Nations (UN) meeting in New York. The meeting, scheduled for next week, will focus on the situation in the Middle East, including the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The decision to deny the Palestinians’ attendance was confirmed by a State Department official who cited the lack of progress in the peace process and Palestinian efforts to seek statehood recognition through the UN as reasons for the move. The official stated that the U.S. remains committed to facilitating direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians to achieve a lasting peace agreement.
In response, Palestinian officials expressed disappointment at the U.S. decision, with Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riad Malki criticizing the move as an infringement on their right to participate in UN meetings. Malki argued that the U.S. was undermining multilateralism and the role of the UN in addressing global conflicts.
On the other hand, Israeli authorities have yet to comment on the matter. Israel has previously welcomed U.S. efforts to exclude Palestinians from international forums to prevent what it perceives as one-sided resolutions against Israel.
The exclusion of Palestinians from the upcoming UN meeting reflects the deep divisions and ongoing tensions in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The decision also highlights the challenges in finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict amid competing interests and priorities of the involved parties.
