Yeah he warn about other conflicts Biden warns against 'full-scale war' in Lebanon US President Joe Biden called for a diplomatic solution as Israel conducts airstrikes in Lebanon, warning against a "full-scale war" there. "Full-scale war is not in anyone's interest. Even though the situation has escalated, a diplomatic solution is still possible," Biden said in an address to the UN General Assembly. Israel says it is launching strikes on Hezbollah weapons facilities and warehouses. The Lebanese Health Ministry says the strikes have killed at least 558 people, including 50 children and 94 women since Monday. In his speech at the UN, Biden also urged Israel and Hamas to finalize a months-old cease-fire proposal. He told the UN he was committed to ending the war in Gaza, which began almost a year ago. "Now is the time for the parties to finalize its terms," he said of the agreement mediated by the United States, Qatar and Egypt. The deal would "bring the hostages home and secure security for Israel and Gaza free from Hamas' grip, ease the suffering in Gaza and end this war," Biden told delegates. The war in Gaza began after Hamas-led militants carried out a terror attack on Israel on October 7, killing some 1,200 people and taking around 250 people hostage. Israel's retaliatory military operation has killed 41,467 people and wounded 95,921 more, according to the Health Mini www.dw.com/en/un-general-assembly-biden-warns-against-lebanon-escalation/live-70312260

Don't do disapair Biden says leaders cannot despair US President Joe Biden has begun his address to the United Nations General Assembly for the fourth and last time as president. "I've seen a remarkable sweep of history," Biden said, noting the changes he has seen since becoming a US senator in 1972 before addressing present-day matters. "I know many look at the world today and see difficulties and react with despair. But I do not. I won't. As leaders we don't have the luxury," he said. "I recognize the challenges from Ukraine to Gaza to Sudan and beyond." www.dw.com/en/un-general-assembly-biden-warns-against-lebanon-escalation/live-70312260
