REPLAY: Biden in farewell UN address says peace still possible in Mideast and Ukraine

by · France 24

President Joe Biden declared the US must not retreat from the world, as he delivered his final address to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday as Israel and Hezbollah militants in Lebanon edged toward all-out war and Israel’s bloody operation against Hamas in Gaza neared the one-year mark. Biden used his wide-ranging address to speak to a need to end the Middle East conflict and the 17-month-old civil war in Sudan and to highlight US and Western allies' support for Kyiv since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022.
