In his final address to the United Nations General Assembly, President Joe Biden reflected on his mixed foreign policy legacy, the horrors of ongoing conflicts in Ukraine, Gaza, and Lebanon, and expressed hopes for global unity. Acknowledging the turmoil surrounding his administration and the backdrop of major international crises, Biden's speech called for an end to the violence and emphasized the need for diplomacy. He defended his controversial withdrawal from Afghanistan, stating it was the right choice, despite criticism from Gold Star families. As tensions mount, particularly between Israel and Hezbollah, Biden urged all parties to de-escalate. He highlighted a critical moment for global cooperation and asserted that 'some things are more important than staying in power.' His address marks a significant turning point as he steps away from the presidential race, aiming to preserve his legacy while laying the groundwork for future leadership.
