U.S. President Joe Biden addresses the 78th Session of the U.N. General Assembly in New York City, U.S., September 19, 2023.
But given the geopolitical backdrop for Biden's speech, there will be little time for victory laps.
Since Biden's last UNGA address in September 2023, ongoing wars in Ukraine and Sudan have persisted, while long-simmering tensions in the Middle East have erupted into deadly conflicts.
Still, the Biden administration regularly emphasizes its commitment to a ceasefire and hostage deal.
"This is one of the advantages of the UN General Assembly: You literally have the whole world here," said the administration official, who was granted anonymity to preview the president's agenda.
