World leaders including Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday will give remarks before the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
The UNGA voted earlier this month to allow Abbas to address the high stakes meeting virtually, after the Trump administration revoked his visa as the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza nears its two-year mark.
The State Department said Palestinian leaders would need to condemn the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel by Hamas and end attempts to be recognized as a sovereign state if they want to re-engage with the U.S.
The move comes as several U.S. allies, including France, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, have agreed to recognize a Palestinian state.
European Union President António Costa is also on the list of speakers for Thursday.
