Israeli Policies Threaten 'Life and Existence' of Palestinians, Abbas Tells UN
Mahmoud Abbas said the Palestinian delegation was denied U.S. visas for the second year, forcing him to address the General Assembly by recorded video.
- On Sept. 24, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas delivered a recorded speech to the United Nations General Assembly, urging acceleration of the peace plan's second phase, stating, "we call for accelerating the implementation of the second phase, rather than wasting any more time."

- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces elections next month, complicating the peace process. His government has repeatedly signaled it will never allow a two-state solution, challenging the plan's viability.
