The USA has reportedly denied a visa to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to attend the upcoming 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly.


The summit is scheduled to be held next week at the UN headquarters in New York.


Despite the denial, a majority of UN member states have passed a resolution allowing President Abbas to address the summit virtually.


Foreign reports also suggest the summit is planning to recognise Palestine as a separate state.
