Draft Resolution for Abbas Video Message to UN General Assembly

Amid ongoing Israeli operations in the Gaza Strip, diplomatic developments are unfolding at the UN ahead of the 80th General Assembly. Reports suggest that Britain may recognize a Palestinian state. According to analyst Gavriil Charitos on ALPHA Enimerosi, this move is attributed to pressure on Keir Starmer. The US veto prevented a resolution for a ceasefire and aid to Gaza.

Meanwhile, a diplomatic marathon is underway to allow Mahmoud Abbas to deliver a video message to the General Assembly, as the US refused to grant entry visas. A draft resolution is being promoted with the support of France and Saudi Arabia. Mr. Charitos mentioned that unilateral recognitions of the Palestinian state are expected, but these will not change the situation on the ground.
