The day before, Belgian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Prevot said on social media that the decision of the United States to refuse to issue visas to Palestinian representatives before the United Nations General Assembly was deeply regrettable. Prevo pointed out that the exclusion of Palestinian representatives by the United States undermined the fundamental principles of multilateralism and international law.

On August 29th, the U.S. State Department refused to issue visas to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and about 80 other Palestinian officials who planned to attend the United Nations General Assembly in the United States. The Palestinian National Authority condemned it, saying that the U.S. action "violated international law and the United Nations Headquarters Agreement". (Headquarters reporter Gu Xin)
