US to refuse visas to Palestinian officials at UN summit on state

The United States said Friday it will refuse visas to members of the Palestinian Authority to attend next month's U.N. General Assembly, where France is leading a push to recognize a Palestinian state.

"Secretary of State Marco Rubio is denying and revoking visas from members of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian Authority (PA) ahead of the upcoming United Nations General Assembly," the State Department said in a statement.
