The 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly continued Tuesday in New York with a packed schedule of national addresses. After U.S. President Donald Trump and Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva delivered their speeches in the opening segment, the morning session featured leaders and representatives from Jordan, Turkey, Kyrgyzstan, Qatar, Lithuania, Peru, Chile, France, Finland, Luxembourg, and Angola. The evening session is set to include Mongolia, South Korea, Suriname, Sierra Leone, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Dominica, Switzerland, Vietnam, Seychelles, Nauru, Tanzania, Bhutan, Trinidad and Tobago, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Croatia.
As The Zioneer reported at 08:20 Jerusalem, the assembly opened Tuesday afternoon with UN Secretary-General António Guterres's address — expected to be his final before retiring this year. Shortly after, Brazilian President Lula and U.S. President Trump spoke from the podium, as reported in our subsequent dispatch. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains scheduled to address the assembly on Thursday evening, as previously noted.
Approximately 130 heads of state have converged on New York for the week's debates, The Zioneer reported earlier Tuesday. The gathering is taking place alongside several parallel diplomatic efforts: on Tuesday, the United States, Denmark, and Greenland signed a security agreement on the sidelines of the assembly, as The Zioneer reported. U.S. President Trump is also expected to meet with Gulf Cooperation Council leaders next week to discuss post-conflict strategy regarding Iran. Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, denied entry to the United States, will deliver his address via video link.
The General Assembly debates are scheduled to continue through Thursday, with Netanyahu's speech expected to be a focal point from Israel's perspective.
