New York: Europe and the Arabs
United States President Joe Biden stressed that his country and its allies will continue to support Ukraine, and stressed that the world must stand up to Russia's "blatant aggression" to deter other potential aggressors in the future. According to what was reported in the United Nations news bulletin, a copy of which we received on Wednesday morning
Addressing the General Assembly's high-level general debate, Mr. Biden said that "Russia alone bears responsibility" for the war in Ukraine, and only Russia has the power to end it.
“Russia believes that the world will get fed up and allow it to brutalize Ukraine without consequences,” he told world leaders. “But let me ask: If we abandon the basic principles [of the United Nations] to appease the aggressor, can any member state of this body feel confident that it is protected?” “If we allow the division of Ukraine, will the independence of any country be safe?”
The US President said that his country, in cooperation with its allies, will continue to stand by “the brave Ukrainian people as they defend their sovereignty, territorial integrity, and freedom,” considering this an investment not only in the future of Ukraine, “but in the future of every country.”

“An integrated and more sustainable Middle East”
Mr. Biden said the recent announcement made during the G20 summit to connect India to Europe via the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Israel will stimulate investment opportunities across two continents and is "part of our efforts to build an integrated and more sustainable Middle East."
He said this shows how increasing Israel's normalization and economic relations with its neighbors "is achieving 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 peoples."

Breaking the Security Council deadlock
Mr. Biden emphasized that through international and regional multilateral institutions, significant progress has been made for the good of humanity over the years, and that the United States is committed to continuing this. However, he stressed the need to modernize old institutions and curricula.
He said that his country supports making international financial institutions accessible to developing countries, as well as reforming the UN Security Council to make it more comprehensive by "increasing the number of permanent and non-permanent members."
He added: “The United States has conducted serious consultations with many member states and we will continue to do our part to advance further reform efforts, search for common ground, and make progress in the coming year. We must be able to break the stalemate that often hinders progress and prevents reaching a solution.” "We need more voices and perspectives at the table. The United Nations must continue to maintain peace, prevent conflicts, and alleviate human suffering."

Competition management
Regarding China, Mr. Biden said that the United States seeks to “manage the competition between the two countries responsibly so that matters do not slide into conflict.” He said his country would resist "aggression and intimidation" while defending freedom of movement and equal economic opportunities, but stressed its readiness to work with China on issues where progress depends on their joint efforts, "and nothing is more important than the accelerating climate crisis."

An existential threat
The US President referred to the record heat waves that affected the two countries, and the forest fires and floods that the world witnessed recently, including the tragic floods in Libya, and said: “Together, these snapshots tell an urgent story of what lies ahead if we fail to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and begin to fortify Our world from climate impacts.
Mr. Biden emphasized that his administration has dealt with the climate crisis from day one as an existential threat, “not only to us, but to all of humanity.”
He stressed that the United States seeks a safer, more prosperous, and more equitable world for all people, “because we know that our future is linked to your future, and no country can face today’s challenges alone.”
He said that world leaders will be held accountable for their fulfillment of the promises they made, and added:
“Will we find the courage to do what needs to be done to preserve the planet, protect human dignity, provide opportunity for people everywhere, and stand up for the principles of the United Nations? There can only be one answer to this question: we must and we will.”
