00:00Innocent civilians in Gaza are also going through hell. Thousands and thousands killed,

00:05including aid workers. Too many families dislocated, crowding in the tents,

00:11facing a dire humanitarian situation. They did not ask for this war that Hamas started.

00:19I put forward with Qatar and Egypt a ceasefire and hostage deal. It's been endorsed by the

00:26UN Security Council. Now is the time for the parties to finalize its terms, bring the hostages

00:32home, and secure security for Israel and Gaza free of Hamas grip, ease the suffering in Gaza,

00:40and end this war. On October 7th,

00:51since October 7th, we've also been determined to prevent a wider war that engulfs the entire

00:58region. Hezbollah, unprovoked, joined the October 7th attack, launching

01:05rockets into Israel. Almost a year later, too many on each side of the

01:10Israeli-Lebanon border remain displaced. Full-scale war is not in anyone's interest.

01:16Even as the situation has escalated, a diplomatic solution is still possible.

01:22In fact, it remains the only path to lasting security, to allow the residents from both

01:27countries to return to their homes and the border safely. And that's what we're working

01:32tirelessly to achieve. As we look ahead, we must also address the rise of violence

01:40against innocent Palestinians on the West Bank and set the conditions for a better future,

01:45including a two-state solution where the world, where Israel enjoys security and peace

01:51and full recognition and normalized relations with all its neighbors, where Palestinians

01:55live in security, dignity, and self-determination in a state of their own.

02:10Progress toward peace will put us in a stronger position to deal with the ongoing threat posed

02:15by Iran. Together, we must deny oxygen to its terrorist proxies, which have called for more

02:22October 7th and ensure that Iran will never, ever obtain a nuclear weapon. Gaza is not the

02:30only conflict that deserves our outrage. In Sudan, a bloody civil war unleashed one of the

02:36world's worst humanitarian crisis. Eight million, eight million on the brink of famine. Hundreds of

02:44thousands already there. Atrocities are for and elsewhere. The United States has led the world

02:51in providing humanitarian aid to Sudan. And with our partners, we've led diplomatic talks to try

02:57to silence the guns and avert a wider famine. The world needs to stop arming the generals,

03:06to speak with one voice and tell them, stop tearing your country apart,

03:11stop blocking aid to the Sudanese people, end this war now.

03:15But people need more than the absence of war. They need a chance, a chance to live in dignity.

03:29They need to be protected from the ravages of climate change, hunger, and disease.

03:35Our administration has arrived, has invested over $150 billion to make progress

03:42and other sustainable development goals. It includes $20 billion for food security,

03:48over $50 billion for global health. We've mobilized billions more in private sector

03:54investment. We've taken the most ambitious climate action in history. We've moved to

04:00rejoin the Paris Agreement on day one. And today, my country is finally on track to cut emissions

04:08in half by 2030. On track to honor my pledge to quadruple climate financing

04:15to developing nations with $11 billion thus far this year. We've rejoined the World Health

04:22Organization, donating 700 million doses of COVID vaccine to 117 countries. We must now move quickly

04:31to face Mpox outbreak in Africa. We're prepared to commit $500 million to help African countries

04:38prevent and respond to Mpox and to donate 1 million doses of Mpox vaccine now.

04:50We call on our partners to match our pledge and make this a billion-dollar commitment

04:55to the people of Africa. Beyond the core necessities of food and health,

05:00the United States, the G7, and our partners have embarked on an ambitious initiative

05:06to mobilize and deliver significant finance to the developing world.

05:10We're working to help countries build out their infrastructure, to clean energy transition,

05:16to the digital transformation, to lay new economic foundations for a prosperous future.

05:22It's called the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment.

05:26We've already started to see the fruits of this emerge in Southern Africa, in Southeast Asia,

05:32and in the Americas. We have to keep it going. I want to get things done together. In order to

05:39do that, we must build a stronger, more effective, and more inclusive United Nations.

05:45The UN needs to adapt and bring new voices and new perspectives. That's why we support

05:51reforming and expanding the membership of the UN Security Council.

06:02Our UN Ambassador just laid out our detailed vision to reflect today's world,

06:08not yesterday's. It's time to move forward. The Security Council, like the UN itself,

06:13needs to go back to the job of making peace, of brokering deals to end wars and suffering.

06:22And to stop the spread of the most dangerous weapons, of stabilizing troubled regions in

06:29East Africa, from East Africa to Haiti, to Kenya-led mission that's working alongside

06:34the Haitian people to turn the tide. We also have a responsibility to prepare our

06:41citizens for the future. We'll see more technological change, I argue, in the next

06:47two to ten years than we have in the last 50 years. Artificial intelligence is going

06:53to change our ways of life, our ways of work, and our ways of war. It could usher in scientific

07:00progress at a pace never seen before, and much of it could make our lives better.

07:07But AI also brings profound risks, from deep fakes to disinformation to novel pathogens

07:15to bioweapons. We've worked at home and abroad to define the new norms and standards.

07:22This year, we achieved the first-ever General Assembly resolution on AI

07:28to start developing global rules, global rules of the road. We also announced a declaration

07:35of – on the responsible use of AI, joined by 60 countries in this chamber.

07:42But let's be honest. This is just the tip of the iceberg,

07:46what we need to do to manage this new technology.
