The Trump regime announced it would deny visas to Palestinian officials slated to visit the United States for the upcoming United Nations General Assembly. This comes on the heels of U.S. President Donald Trump's horrific "pause" in approving the visas of two million Palestinians – including children seeking medical care in the U.S. through humanitarian organizations.

The US denial of visas for Palestinian officials who were to attend the UNGA is meant to silence the Palestinians.

The new restriction comes after a group of Palestinian officials were refused visas for a key UN meeting in New York.
