NEW YORK, September 25, 2025 (WAFA) – The United Nations General Assembly continued the work of its 80th session for the third consecutive day in New York, held this year under the theme: “Better Together: 80 Years and More for Peace, Development and Human Rights.”
President Mahmoud Abbas is set to address the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly via video conference on behalf of the State of Palestine.
On September 19, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution allowing President Abbas to participate remotely in the high-level meeting, supported by 145 countries. The resolution permits Palestine to submit pre-recorded statements through its President or another senior representative for any high-level UN meeting or international conference, particularly if Palestinian representatives are prevented from attending in person.
The Assembly expressed regret over the United States' refusal to grant visas to Palestinian representatives, including the cancellation of previously issued visas, which prevented their physical attendance at UN meetings.
The 80th session’s general debate continues until Saturday, September 27, and is scheduled to conclude on Monday, September 29, 2025.
