The US is denying and revoking visas from members of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority ahead of the United Nations General Assembly meeting in September, the U.S. State Department said in a statement on Friday (August 29). "This statement, attributed to the state department, was just released, was brought to my attention just about half an hour ago. We will see exactly what it means and how it applies to any of our delegation, and we will respond accordingly," said Palestinian U.N. envoy Riyad Mansour at a media briefing at U.N. headquarters, also on Friday.
