From his social media profile on X, he described these legal actions as unjust and emphasized his intention to “undermine progress toward international recognition of the Palestinian State and the inalienable rights of that people.”

The United States imposed sanctions against officials of the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian Liberation Organization, accusing them of taking steps to internationalize the conflict with Israel.

These actions include denying visas to members of these organizations, whom it also accuses of continuing to support terrorism by inciting violence.

These sanctions follow the recent UN conference on a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, boycotted by the United States and Israel.
