The United States plans to seek both the normalization of the Jewish state with its Arab neighbors and a two-state resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, US President Joe Biden told the United Nations on Tuesday.
“Israel’s greater normalization and economic connection with its neighbors delivering positive and particle impacts even as we continue to work tirelessly for just and lasting peace, for Israelis and Palestinians, two states for two peoples,” he said.
Biden lays out US foreign policy
Biden set out his country’s foreign policy agenda as one of the first speakers to address the high-level portion of the 78th opening session of the UN General Assembly.
He focused on the importance of regional cooperation as a blue-print to solve global crises and conflict, including in the Middle East.
He referenced specifically the new energy corridor the US announced that the US would link Europe to India through the Middle East, touching Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
This he said, “will spur opportunities for investment across two continents” and is part of “our efforts to build a more sustainable and integrated Middle East.
Biden hinted that the partnerships the US is helping foster between Israel and its neighbors have little to do with Iran’s nuclear threat.
“None of these partnerships are about containing any country, they are about a positive vision for our shared future,” he said.
