The European Union has urged the US to lift its travel ban on Palestinian delegation members attending the upcoming UNGA meeting, citing it as a 'regrettable and unjustified' measure that undermines diplomatic efforts.

The EU expressed disappointment at this decision, which they say is incompatible with international norms and principles of human rights and dignity.
