President Joe Biden delivered his farewell address to world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, seeking to burnish his foreign policy legacy amid international turmoil.  "This is the fourth time I've had the great honor speaking to this assembly as president of the United States," Biden said as he began his remarks. "It will be my last. I've seen a remarkable sweep of history." Biden also took a moment, near the end of his speech, to poignantly reflect on his decision to end his campaign for reelection. "There's so much more I want to get done," Biden said. "As much as I love the job, I love my country more. I decided after 50 years of public service, it's time for a new generation of leadership to take my nation forward." "My fellow leaders, let us never forget, some things are more important than staying in power. It's your people," he said, prompting applause. "It's your people that matter the most. Never forget, we are here to serve the people, not the other way around." |

On the 28th, US President Biden released a statement regarding the death of Hezbollah leader Nasrallah in an Israeli airstrike, saying, "It is a justifiable measure, given the sacrifices he has made for so many Americans, Israelis and Lebanese citizens."
The airstrikes were against the backdrop of a surprise attack on Israel by the Palestinian Islamic organization Hamas in October last year, and he stated, "We fully support Israel's right to self-defense." He added, "Ultimately, we will seek to calm the conflict through diplomatic means."
On the 28th, the State Department ordered the evacuation of some staff and their families from the US embassy in the capital Beirut, citing instability in Lebanon.

In a statement on the 13th, US President Biden congratulated the Japan Confederation of A- and H-bomb Sufferers Organizations (Hidankyo) on their decision to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. He praised the organization for its "historic work" with the determination that nuclear weapons must never be used again. He also reiterated his determination to work toward the realization of a "nuclear-free world." The White House announced the announcement.
Biden pointed out that the Hidankyo has repeatedly testified about the devastating damage caused by nuclear weapons. He praised the organization, saying, "They have demonstrated their resolve and resilience through tragedy." In response to the award, he called for "all of us to renew our resolve to realize a more peaceful world."
He mentioned that he visited Hiroshima, the site of the atomic bombing, to attend the G7 Hiroshima Summit in May last year and met with atomic bomb survivors. He called for "continued progress in order to leave a world where nuclear weapons exist forever."
He emphasized that he is ready to engage in unconditional dialogue with nuclear-armed states Russia and China, and North Korea, which is forcing its nuclear and missile development efforts, in order to reduce the nuclear threat. He emphasized that stagnation in nuclear disarmament "is of no interest to the United States or the world."

US President Biden
"I think we can deal with this to temporarily end the conflict between Israel and Iran."
President Biden said this on the 18th during a visit to Germany, and also expressed his hope for progress toward a ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and the Iran-backed Shiite Islamist group Hezbollah.
He said he shared this view with the leaders of Germany, the UK, and France, whom he met with on the same day.
On the other hand, Biden also acknowledged that Prime Minister Netanyahu had explained to him when and how Israel would launch a retaliatory attack in response to the large-scale missile attack from Iran.
