00:00President Biden gave his final address to the United Nations on Tuesday.
00:04In his speech, he touched on the major international crises currently facing the world.
00:08We will not let up on our support for Ukraine.
00:11Not until Ukraine wins with just and durable peace.
00:14We're also working to bring greater measure of peace and stability to the Middle East.
00:18Bring the hostages home and secure security for Israel and Gaza free of Hamas grip.
00:25Ease the suffering in Gaza and end this war.
00:28Too many on each side of the Israeli-Lebanon border remain displaced.
00:33Full-scale war is not in anyone's interest.
00:36Even if the situation has escalated, a diplomatic solution is still possible.
00:42The United States has led the world in providing humanitarian aid to Sudan.
00:46And with our partners, we've led diplomatic talks to try to silence the guns
00:51and avert a wider famine.
00:54Biden did not express much in the way of concrete solutions to these problems,
00:57but he was optimistic.
00:59Maybe because all I've seen and all we have done together over the decades, I have hope.
01:06I know there is a way forward.
01:09He also spoke about his own withdrawal from the U.S. presidential race.
01:13I decided after 50 years of public service,
01:16it's time for a new generation of leadership to take my nation forward.
01:21My fellow leaders, let us never forget,
01:24some things are more important than staying in power.
01:27It's your people.
