Today in New York, I sat down with Jordanian Foreign Minister @AymanHsafadi to reaffirm our commitment to work together – with other regional partners – to set the conditions for a durable and sustainable peace in the Middle East.

Met today with Qatari Foreign Minister @MBA_AlThani_.
Grateful for Qatar’s partnership in brokering a humanitarian pause that has allowed humanitarian aid to get into Gaza – and has facilitated the release of hostages who were unjustly held by Hamas.
We will not rest until every hostage is brought home.

Over the past two months, we have seen a spike in antisemitism and Islamophobia.
We see this play out online, across social media.
And we also see this in our communities, where hate begets violence.
We all have a responsibility to condemn these attacks.

We are deeply troubled by the sharp rise in violence by extremist Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank.
Extremist violence must stop – and those committing the violence must be held accountable.

Thank you, @RockefellerFdn, for hosting a critically important gathering last night on food insecurity.
My family taught me that the highest calling is to ensure that no one goes to bed hungry. This work takes all of us.
Millions around the world need our help. And we need to work together to end hunger.

The U.S. – working with regional partners, the UN, and humanitarian groups – has spearheaded international efforts to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
We are the world's single largest donor to the Palestinian people. And we continue to scale up humanitarian aid.
USCENTCOM supported USAID by airlifting more than 54,000 pounds of humanitarian supplies to provide medical supplies and food to the people of Gaza. The supplies began arriving today in Egypt via a C-17 aircraft to then be distributed by UN agencies. Additional flights are expected in the coming days as part of the United States' ongoing efforts to increase the flow of humanitarian assistance into Gaza.

Yesterday, I met with a group of Syrian women – who appealed to me for the UN Security Council’s support.
The United States calls on the Council and all UN Member States to stand with the Syrian people as they work toward peace and justice.

Utterly heartbreaking. I am praying for the full recovery of these three students of Palestinian descent.
An investigation is ongoing, but this much is clear: We must stamp out all forms of hate and bigotry.
No one should fear for their life because of who they are.
"There is absolutely no place for violence or hate in America," White House Press Sec. Karine Jean-Pierre said on Monday, during remarks about the Vermont shooting that wounded three college students of Palestinian descent.

North Korea continues to violate UN Security Council resolutions with its dangerous, escalatory launches.
And yet, two permanent Council members continue to refuse to condemn North Korea's behavior.
We call on the Council to urge the regime to halt its WMD and ballistic missile programs and engage in dialogue.

I have consistently pressed for a pause in the fighting to accelerate and expand the humanitarian assistance going into Gaza and facilitate the release of hostages.
I remain in contact with leaders of Qatar, Egypt, and Israel to make sure every aspect of the deal is implemented.

Russia has stolen Ukrainian grain, sabotaged farmlands, and bombarded Ukraine's agricultural infrastructure and port cities.
Despite these relentless attacks, the Ukrainian people have stood strong. And the United States will stand with the Ukrainian people for as long as it takes.

Today, 13 more hostages – including a fellow American – were released by Hamas under a deal brokered and sustained through intensive U.S. diplomacy.
We continue to press that additional Americans be released.
And we will not stop working until every hostage is returned.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

The United States stands in solidarity with the brave women and girls who are fighting to live a life free from the threat of violence.
We must work together to prevent and respond to gender-based violence in all its forms – at home and around the world. This is both a moral and national security imperative. #16Days

.@USAmbUN: Even at this perilous moment, we must work towards a sustained peace.
Towards a future where two democratic states, Israel and Palestine, live side-by-side in peace.
Women and girls can and must help chart that better future.

We also appreciate the commitment that Prime Minister Netanyahu and his government made to support an extended pause to:
– Ensure this deal can be fully carried out.
– Ensure the provision additional humanitarian assistance to help alleviate the suffering of innocent Palestinian families in Gaza.
– And allow time for Palestinian civilians to move to safer locations.

Last night, we got welcome news:
A deal, which @POTUS and the United States helped broker – in partnership with Egypt and Qatar – was reached to secure the release of at least fifty hostages, including Americans, taken by Hamas during its brutal terrorist assault against Israel.
Over the coming weeks, we will work to reunite all hostages with their families. Every single one.

At this difficult moment, as we are seeing a spike in antisemitism – at home and around the world – I am grateful to have Andrew on team @USUN.
We will not allow hate to prevail.
