USA President Barack Obama says Israel has to realize it cannot permanently occupy the Palestinian lands. Obama made the remarks in his final address to the United Nations General Assembly at the UN headquarters in New York on Tuesday. Speaking about Russia, he also said if the country continues to meddle in the affairs of its neighbors that will make its borders less secure. Obama accused Russia of trying to recover power through force. In a world that left the age of empire behind, we see Russia attempting to recover lost glory through force
, he said. In addition, Obama said diplomacy is the only way to end the five-year deadly war in Syria, as a shaky ceasefire brokered by the US and Russia is in danger of falling apart. There's no ultimate military victory to be won, we're going to have to pursue the hard work of the diplomacy that aims to stop the violence and deliver aid to those in need
, Obama told the General Assembly. Addressing the issue of global warming, Obama called on the world to bring the Paris climate agreement into force as soon as possible. If we don't act boldly, the bill that could come due will be mass migrations and cities submerged and nations displaced and food supplies decimated and conflicted born of despair
, he said. There must be a sense of urgency about bringing the agreement into force and helping poorer countries leapfrog destructive forms of energy
