“Our position on this issue is well known，” Mr. Obama said. “We believe that the moratorium should be extended. We also believe that talks should press on until completed.”
Clashes on Wednesday between Israeli security forces and Palestinians in the Old City of Jerusalem underscored the fragile state of affairs in the region and the potential for violent outbursts if the negotiations fall apart.
Mr. Obama acknowledged the possibility of “terror， or turbulence， or posturing or petty politics” to disrupt the negotiations， but exhorted world leaders to stand behind the peace process.
“When we come back here next year， we can have an agreement that will lead to a new member of the United Nations， an independent state of Palestine， living in peace with Israel，” he said.
Tonally， Mr. Obama’s speech to the General Assembly was dramatically different from the one he delivered last year， in his maiden appearance as a new president promising change not only at home， but in America’s dealings with the rest of the world. If the 2009 speech was about the promise of a new approach， and often interrupted by applause， this speech was far more about pressing countries to take up what he called their “responsibilities.”
“Last year he sought to signal that U.S. foreign policy was under new management and intended to work better with others， just what his audience wanted to hear，” James M. Lindsay， the director of studies at the Council on Foreign Relations， wrote shortly after the speech was over. “This year he made clear he wants to get things done， and that will require others to do things they would prefer not to do.” He added， “He shouldn’t be surprised to discover that others are slow to follow.”
Mr. Obama， at turns sweeping and philosophical， told the delegates and world leaders that it was “our destiny” to endure a time of recession， war and conflict， and spoke out broadly in support of open governments and human rights.
