Threat to 'life and existence': Major takeaways from Palestinian president's UN speech

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from France 24 [en] · Middle East

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas addressed the UN General Assembly on Thursday, delivering prerecorded remarks from his office in Ramallah after the United States denied him and other top Palestinian officials visas to attend the gathering for the second year in a row. “The Palestinian people face one of the most dangerous times in its history,” Abbas said. France 24's Kethevane Gorjestani takes a look at some of the main takeaways from his address.
