Biden Delivers Final Speech to UN as US President

 In his final speech to the United Nations General Assembly at the annual UN gathering in New York yesterday (Sept. 24), President Joe Biden tried to showcase the diplomatic achievements of his presidency and contrast them with the wars going on in the Middle East, Ukraine, and Sudan, the Greek Reporter website reports today (Sept. 25, 2024). 


During his speech, President Biden stated, " I know many look at the world today and see  difficulties and react with despair." 


"But maybe because of all I've seen and all we have done together over the decades, I have hope," he added. 


Some mentions made by President Biden included supporting Ukraine's defense against Russia's invasion in 2022, handling competition with China, and upholding the UN charter.


Biden also commented on the need for a two--state solution in the Middle East,  referring to a world, "where Israel enjoys security and peace, full recognition and normalized relations with its neighbors. And Palestinians live in security, dignity, and self--determination in a state of their own.
