US President Joe Biden addresses the United Nations while making an impassioned case for peace and multilateralism.
“No nation can meet the challenges of today alone,” he says, noting the decision to rejoin UNESCO, though he says reforms are needed.
Biden says he will work with other leaders to make sure artificial intelligence is “used for good.”
“We will not retreat from the values we hold strong,” he says, noting efforts to spread democracy and boost economic growth worldwide.
He touts the newly announced plan to connect India and Saudi Arabia to Europe via Jordan and Israel, which he says “will spur opportunities across two continents. This is part of our effort to build a more sustainable and integrated Middle East.”
Biden appears to defend the US’s push for Arab states to normalize with Israel despite the lack of progress on the Palestinian front.
“It demonstrates how Israel’s greater normalization and economic connections with its neighbors is delivering positive and practical impacts even as we continue to work tirelessly to support a just and lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians, two states for two people,” he says.
Responsibly covering this tumultuous time
As The Times of Israel’s political correspondent, I spend my days in the Knesset trenches, speaking with politicians and advisers to understand their plans, goals and motivations.
I'm proud of our coverage of this government's plans to overhaul the judiciary, including the political and social discontent that underpins the proposed changes and the intense public backlash against the shakeup.
