Abbas at the United Nations: The Palestinian People Won’t Be Displaced or Disappear
- On Thursday, September 24, 2026, President Mahmoud Abbas addressed the United Nations General Assembly via prerecorded video from Ramallah after the Donald Trump regime denied his delegation visas for the second consecutive year.
- Addressing the annual debate, Abbas warned that Palestinians face "one of the most dangerous phases in their history," accusing Israel of waging a "genocidal war" in Gaza and "fragmenting" the West Bank through settlement expansion.
- He further insisted that Israel maintains a "system of laws, measures and practices all built on racial discrimination, ethnic cleansing and state terrorism," while urging the international community to protect Palestinians and end the occupation.
- Israel has rejected genocide allegations, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to speak in person later Thursday with his delegation's seats remaining vacant during Abbas's address.
- Abbas criticized the Trump regime for punishing diplomatic efforts, a development occurring as the International Criminal Court maintains an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and experts warn the two-state solution faces potential erasure.
