Biden calls for Gaza cease-fire, defense of Ukraine in final U.N. General Assembly speech

Sept. 24 (UPI) -- President Joe Biden on Tuesday made his most forceful call yet for a cease-fire in Gaza and asserted the West would not tire of supporting Ukraine during his final United Nations General Assembly speech on Tuesday.

In front of the annual gathering of world leaders in New York, Biden condemned Hamas for its initial attack on Israel on Oct. 7 and said that the Palestinian people deserved their own state without the influence of the militant group Hamas.
