Story summary

On Thursday at the UN General Assembly in New York, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas delivered a pre-recorded speech criticizing Israel's actions as a "genocidal war" against Palestinians, especially in Gaza. The Palestinian leader accused Israel of fragmenting the occupied West Bank through settlement expansions and increasing settler violence. Due to US visa sanctions, Abbas was barred from attending the assembly personally for the second consecutive year. He warned that the current phase is one of the most dangerous periods in Palestinian history, with threats not just to the two-state solution but also to the lives and existence of Palestinians in their homeland.
