What happened

Israel’s policies threaten ‘very existence’ of Palestinians, Abbas tells UN Mahmoud Abbas says saving the two-state solution begins with preserving Palestinian land and protecting those who live on it.

Why it matters

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has warned the United Nations General Assembly that Israel’s policies go beyond undermining a two-state solution and now threaten the “very life and existence” of Palestinians.

Common ground

Abbas’s prerecorded remarks from his office in Ramallah were broadcast before the assembly on Thursday after the United States denied visas to a Palestinian delegation to attend the gathering for the second year in a row.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Exaggeration / Hyperbole: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
