The European Union has urged the US to lift its travel ban on Palestinian delegation members attending the upcoming UNGA meeting, citing it as a 'regrettable and unjustified' measure that undermines diplomatic efforts. For the second year in a row, the US has denied visas to PA officials seeking to participate in the assembly. The EU expressed disappointment at this decision, which they say is incompatible with international norms and principles of human rights and dignity.
