The USA, the accomplice of Zionism, which uses all communication tools to defend Israel at every opportunity and takes it upon itself to whitewash terrorism with various false news and perceptions, is trying to silence the voice of the Palestinians. The US government did not allow Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki to make a statement during his contacts in Washington. Upon the reactions, he claimed that there was no such restriction.
It was reported that the US government did not allow Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki, a member of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Arab League Contact Group, to make a statement during his contacts in Washington. Contact Group members held a press conference at the Four Seasons Hotel as part of their visit to Washington.
After a journalist wanted to ask al-Maliki a question, Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan took the floor.
"Mr. al-Maliki cannot answer your question due to the conditions of his visa. What I mean is that the US government has restricted Mr. al-Maliki in a way that does not allow him to answer (these questions). He cannot answer the questions of the press and cannot engage with the press," Bin Farhan said.
THEY BOTH BLOCKED IT AND DENIED IT!
The US State Department stated that it could not provide information about individual visa files, but that there are no provisions under the US Immigration Law that prevent individuals from speaking to the press.
US State Department Spokesperson Mathew Miller made a written statement to the AA correspondent regarding Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki not being allowed to make a statement during his contacts in Washington.
"Under US law, visa records are confidential. Therefore, we cannot share details of individual visa files," Miller said.
On the other hand, Miller stated that there are no provisions under the US Immigration Law that prevent people from speaking to the press.
"We did not impose any restrictions that would prevent people from speaking to the press," Miller claimed.
BIDEN GOVERNMENT IS THE SERVANT OF ZIONISM
The attitude towards Palestinian Minister Riyad al-Maliki also revealed the scandalous attitude of the USA.
The stance of the USA against Palestine, which fully supports the occupying Israeli forces and is a party to the massacres of the Zionists, is not surprising. Not allowing Maliki to make a statement was the latest example of the US and Biden government's service to Zionism.
