What happened

Well supportedReported by 5 independent outlets

The State of Palestine rejected the US decision to extend visa restrictions on officials of the Palestinian National Authority and members of the Palestine Liberation Organization. The US cited the internationalization of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through the International Criminal Court and International Court of Justice, attempts to bypass negotiations, and the glorification of terrorism as reasons for the visa-denying sanctions. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry stated that recourse to international institutions and international law was a legitimate means of defending Palestinian rights.
