3
The President of the United States of America is the most important part of the world.
4
The most important part of the world is the most important part of the world.
5
The most important part of the world is the most important part of the world and the speed of change are unprecedented.
6
Every day brings another crisis, another tragedy, another emergency demanding our attention.
7
One study shows that average screen attention has fallen from 2 .5 minutes in 2004 to just 47 seconds today.
8
Of course, a screen is not the world.
9
But that says something about our world today, that attention has become a scarce asset,
10
and where we choose to direct it has never mattered more.
11
And in this chamber, attention is more than a cognitive resource.
12
It is a geopolitical one.
13
It determines which conflicts receive sustained diplomacy and which fade from the agenda.
14
Whether a ceasefire holds after the cameras leave,
15
whether humanitarian suffering remains intolerable or becomes familiar,
16
and whether the world steps up or scrolls and strolls away.
17
History rarely catches us entirely by surprise.
18
More often, it catches us focused elsewhere.
19
Economic disparity, food insecurity, climate change disasters.
20
None of these challenges emerged overnight.
21
The warning signs have been there.
22
The question is whether our attention lasts long enough to act,
23
and what we neglect has a habit of shaping our future.
24
Your Excellencies, we see the cost of that neglect every day.
25
In my region, from Lebanon to Yemen to Sudan, protracted conflict is deepening humanitarian suffering.
26
And if anyone had any doubt that a crisis in our part of the world stays there,
27
just look at the energy and grocery bills of ordinary families from Mumbai to Madrid to Minnesota.
28
The Iran war has shown how quickly instability can disrupt trade, investment and lives beyond the region.
29
And then there is Gaza.
30
For decades I have stood before this assembly and warned of the dangers of leaving the Palestinian Israeli conflict unresolved.
31
But the international community chose to manage the conflict, not confront it.
32
And every new Israeli violation was treated as temporary,
33
diverting attention from the reality being created on the ground.
34
until temporary became permanent and permanent became policy.
35
Of course, this is not the world's only injustice,
36
but one of the world's longest -running occupations forces a basic question.
37
If international law can be ignored for decades, then what exactly is that law worth?
38
And how can we enforce it if we won't even call out its violations?
39
In Gaza, the evidence is overwhelming.
40
In the first 300 days of the so -called ceasefire, at least 300 Palestinian children were killed.
41
Jordan's field hospitals have also been targeted.
42
President Trump has pushed hard for peace and a path to end this war.
43
But this Israeli government keeps moving the goalposts, continuing its attacks and destruction of civilian infrastructure,
44
refusing to withdraw and squeezing Palestinians into barely a third of Gaza.
45
This can no longer be dismissed as temporary military measures or a consequence of war.
46
Accountability begins when we call things for what they are.
47
An attempt to erase Palestinian life and impose a new territorial reality in Gaza.
48
And while the world has been focused on Gaza,
49
something extraordinarily dangerous is unfolding in the West Bank.
50
Some may think we have seen this before.
51
Settlements, violence, displacement, more of the same. But it is not.
52
Nor is it simply an escalation.
53
The government has exploded into something far more aggressive.
54
Settler violence is rampant.
55
Palestinians are being beaten shot and terrorized homes turched property destroyed families driven from their land
56
and Israel is tightening its grip on
57
more of the West Bank seizing land expanding settlements
58
and pushing the Palestinians out it is time to see what is happening for what it really is
59
Because when the language is sanitized, the actions become normalized.
60
Demolishing Palestinian homes to expand illegal settlements is not law enforcement.
61
It is forcible transfer.
62
Appropriating occupied land is not land registration.
63
It is de facto annexation.
64
A choking network of checkpoints and barriers is not security infrastructure.
65
It is a system of subjugation.
66
Systematic attacks on Palestinian communities are not settler unrest.
67
The Israeli government criticizes the violence before the international audiences.
68
They call those responsible a handful of rioters.
69
They assure us that Israel is a country governed by law, yet what's happening on the ground says otherwise.
70
Israeli soldiers stand by as settlers attack Palestinians, often protecting the attackers or joining them.
71
They have blocked ambulances from reaching the injured.
72
They have targeted international journalists who are trying to say the truth.
73
And when soldiers watch, enable and sometimes even participate in violence against civilians,
74
this is no longer about a handful of rioters.
75
And the question is no longer whether a few extremists are breaking the law.
76
The question is, is this the behavior of a democratic state governed by law?
77
What is unfolding across the West Bank is not a series of isolated acts.
78
It is elements of a single policy to compel an entire population to leave their land.
79
And there is a name for that.
80
Forced displacement.
81
And that is a war cry.
82
Your Excellencies, if we are to resolve the Palestinian -Israeli conflict,
83
The world must abandon some illusions.
84
The first is that Gaza and the West Bank are separate stories.
85
They are not.
86
They are two fronts of the same Israeli strategy.
87
In both, Palestinians are being killed.
88
In both, the reality on the ground is being remade.
89
Gaza through destruction, the West Bank through de facto annexation.
90
The objective is the same, to make a viable Palestinian state impossible.
91
Another illusion is that this Israeli leadership's rejection of Palestinian statehood is a position that might yet change.
92
It is not.
93
It is cemented on the ground.
94
This government has been accelerating settlements and land seizures.
95
But it began long before.
96
Since Oslo, the map has changed piece by piece, settlement by settlement.
97
And the most dangerous illusion, that the Arab world never sought peace.
98
The Arab Peace Initiative of 2002 offered Israel normalization with 57 Arab and Muslim states,
99
including Iran and Iraq at the time, in exchange for peace and Palestinian statehood.
100
For over 20 years, that offer has stood.
101
The obstacle hasn't been the absence of a partner for peace,
102
but the absence of an Israeli government willing to accept it.
103
This Israeli government.
104
This Israeli government understands the power of attention.
105
And lately, it has not liked the attention it's been getting.
106
When confronted with evidence of wrongdoing, rather than change the course,
107
it opts for distraction, discrediting its critics.
108
It has also tried to cast this conflict as a war of religions.
109
Islam on one side, Judaism and Christianity on the other.
110
It is not.
111
This is about whether Palestinians, Muslims and Christians are entitled to the same rights as everyone else.
112
Distractions will not fly anymore.
113
People across the world are paying attention.
114
The question now is, will we act?
115
Because the world's political inaction is not for lack of options.
116
So let's call it for what it is.
117
A choice.
118
We have tools sanctions, asset freezes, embargoes, diplomatic isolation.
119
And we have a record of using them elsewhere.
120
Yet with Israel, resolutions end where they can, on paper.
121
This result is a state without restraint.
122
This government's sense of impunity has reached terrifying levels.
123
It no longer feels compelled to ask, can we get away with this?
124
It already knows the answer.
125
And that is precisely why no one in this assembly should assume its ambitions stop at Palestine.
126
This Israeli government's expansionist appetite is now a regional threat.
127
And today, Syria is the warning the international community is choosing not to see.
128
Repeated incursions, creeping territorial expansion, new facts imposed on the ground, including around vital water resources.
129
Step by calculated step, Israel is testing how far it can go.
130
And every time the international community looks away, Israel learns that it can go even further,
131
across borderlines and legal limits.
132
For Jordan, there is no ambiguity you.
133
Any threat to our northern border or our water security.
134
is a threat to our national security.
135
Jordan will not look away.
136
We will protect our security, our water, and the interests of our people.
137
And the question here is, if Israel continues its antagonistic approach in southern Syria,
138
will the international community stand by and let that happen?
139
Your Excellencies, some things demand our immediate attention, others demand sustained attention.
140
Injustice demands both.
141
Jordan understands this all too well.
142
We know what it means to live in a region where one crisis arrives before the last one has receded.
143
And we know that we cannot choose between responding to the emergency before us and building the future beyond it. So we're doing both.
144
We are strengthening connections from the Gulf to the Mediterranean as a hub for trade, industry, and technology.
145
While responding to humanitarian crises, we are confronting terrorism in the region and beyond,
146
while developing our own defenses and remaining a front line against threats like dichotics.
147
We are protecting Christianity in its communities and heritage in its native and historic land,
148
while promoting the true image of Islam against the voices. of hate.
149
And through it all, we will not abandon our commitment to a just peace.
150
We will continue to support Palestinian resilience.
151
We will continue supporting Anruwa.
152
And we will continue to uphold the Hashemite custodianship and historic
153
and legal status quo at Muslim and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.
154
Most importantly, Jordan is striving to build a different model.
155
Principled, open, and steady.
156
At a time when certainty is rare and politics can shift by the day.
157
A country the world can count on, true to our principles, true to our word,
158
ready to talk to everyone and ready to work with anyone seeking peace.
159
However, our bias towards diplomacy will never supersede our commitment to human values
160
and should not be taken for granted or mistaken for weakness.
161
My friends, within Gaza, Sudan, Ukraine, or anywhere, people live with war, displacement, and fear.
162
Whether a crisis began weeks ago or has endured for decades, our principles cannot change with the world's attention.
163
A military force cannot deliver meaningful solutions.
164
It cannot feed the hungry, return the displaced, or build peace.
165
Nor can it repair our planet, manage migration, or guide technological progress.
166
That requires institutions that command legitimacy.
167
And it requires trust.
168
Trust between nations.
169
Trust in agreements.
170
Trust that rules will actually be enforced.
171
Destroy that trust, and every challenge becomes harder.
172
Preserve it, and cooperation becomes possible.
173
And in a world competing for our attention,
174
we must be deliberate about where we direct it and vigilant about what seeks to distract it.
175
The future is shaped not only by what we do, but what we choose to ignore.
176
Thank you.
177
On behalf of the Assembly, I wish to thank the King of the Hashemit Kingdom of Jordan.
178
The Assembly will hear an address by His Excellency Recep Tayyip Erdogan,
179
President of the Republic of Turkey.
180
I request the protocol.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
