Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas is slated to address the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday by video after the U.S. revoked his visa last month.

It is unclear how Abbas’ address will differ from the one he gave Monday at an event co-hosted by France and Saudi Arabia, during which the Palestinian leader called for an immediate cease-fire and for Hamas to hand over all weapons to the PA.
