Biden promises to work to end the war in Gaza in his remaining mandate
The president of the United States. In the United States, Joe Biden, said on Wednesday in his speech to the nation that he will continue to work “to end the war in Gaza,” in the six months he has left in the White House.
“I will continue working to end the war in Gaza, bring home all the hostages and bring peace and security to the Middle East and end this war,” the president noted in a brief speech in which he spoke for the first time publicly about his decision to end his re-election campaign for the November elections.
Biden also said in this historic speech that he is the first president of this century who can say that the United States is not at war anywhere in the world and that his commitment will continue to be to keep the country strong.
He also promised to continue “gathering a coalition of nations to prevent” the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, from “taking over Ukraine” and working “day and night” for them to return to the US. United States “the Americans who are unjustly detained around the world.”
Biden will meet this Thursday with the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, who is visiting the United States and whose official trip has generated pro-Palestinian protests in Washington on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Although the United States is Israel’s main partner and supplier of weapons, bilateral relations are not at their best due to the handling of the war against the Islamist group Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
In addition, Biden has reproached Netanyahu for the harshness of his military offensive in Gaza, where there are already almost 39,000 dead, 90,000 injured and 1.9 million displaced since the war broke out on October 7.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum visited on Monday the victims injured in a train accident that left 13 people dead in the southern state of Oaxaca and announced financial assistance for those affected by the derailment of the Interoceanic Train, which was inaugurated in 2023.

The corridor was one of the flagship initiatives of former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s administration (2018–2024).
Sheinbaum visited three hospitals in the neighboring towns of Tehuantepec and Salina Cruz, where around 20 injured passengers remain hospitalized. She also went to a funeral home to accompany the families of those who lost their lives in the accident.
According to Mexico’s Navy Secretary, Raymundo Morales, the accident occurred when one of the locomotives derailed, causing all four railcars to leave the tracks.
