The UN General Assembly opened its sessions on Tuesday, September 22, in New York, marking the start of an intense diplomatic week.
World leaders are gathering amid a backdrop of escalating international crises and a weakening United Nations.
On the agenda are issues such as the war in Ukraine, the situation in Sudan, challenges related to artificial intelligence, and pandemics.
However, it is the Middle East that is expected to take center stage in discussions, notably the war with Iran, the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, and regional tensions that heavily influence the debates.
