It was a high-energy, forceful speech, and at times, he taunted Republicans with ad-libs. When they heckled his support for bipartisan border security legislation, Biden said, “Look at the facts. I know you know how to read.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden stumbled over a few words, and in the Republican response, Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama called him “dithering and diminished,” but it was a more vigorous performance than other speeches where his remarks can be meandering or hard to hear. It was also a rejoinder to criticisms that Biden is too old to keep serving as president. He would be 86 at the end of a second term, and Republicans — though Trump is only four years younger — have relished slicing and dicing videos of the president to make him look as feeble as possible on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden leaned into his age, mentioning he was born during World War II, but defended his vision for the country as fresh. “You can’t lead America with ancient ideas that only take us back,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Abortion on the ballot\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The president said efforts to restrict abortion were an “assault on freedom,” and he derided the Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v.

It’s rooted in a simple requirement in the U.S. Constitution that directs the president to “give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.” But in modern times, it’s a televised extravaganza where every detail is carefully scrutinized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how to watch and what to look for during Thursday’s address by President Joe Biden.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Where to find it\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>You can find the State of the Union on all major networks, which will be carrying it live. It will also be streamed online by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/live/\">White House\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/\">The Associated Press\u003c/a>. The speech starts at 9 p.m. ET.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Cast of characters\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>You might notice a new face behind Biden when he starts his speech. \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/house-speaker-republicans-emmer-mccarthy-54352a64be041cd445bda8df28b24f03\">Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana\u003c/a> became the House speaker in October after unhappy Republicans ousted \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/mccarthy-gaetz-speaker-motion-to-vacate-congress-327e294a39f8de079ef5e4abfb1fa555\">Rep. Kevin McCarthy\u003c/a> of California. Rep. Nancy Pelosi had the job before McCarthy but lost it when Democrats failed to keep the majority in the 2022 midterm elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That makes Johnson the third House speaker to sit behind Biden during a State of the Union, reflecting the political instability in Washington and a challenging shift for Biden. House leadership has fallen further under the sway of the chamber’s right flank, making it harder for the president to cut deals with the opposing party.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Biden’s age\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>No president gets a free pass on the world’s biggest stage, but Biden will be watched more carefully than most because of his age. At 81 years old, he’s the oldest commander-in-chief in history, and he would be 86 at the end of a potential second term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donald Trump, Biden’s Republican predecessor and likely opponent in this year’s election, is 77. A majority of U.S. adults doubt either of them have the mental capabilities to serve as president, \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/biden-state-of-union-mental-capacity-trump-reelection-66d8784586d21f30885d8153f949510c#:~:text=WASHINGTON%20(AP)%20%E2%80%94%20A%20poll,rematch%20of%20the%202020%20election.\">according to a new survey\u003c/a> by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The State of the Union is a chance for Biden to dispel doubts about whether he’s up for the job at an age when most Americans are retired. Any verbal slips or apparent confusion would provide fodder for his opponents.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Policy agenda\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Keep your ears open for any new policy proposals. The State of the Union is a chance for presidents to lay out their goals and rally Americans to support their plans. For example, Biden used a previous speech to discuss his “unity agenda,” which included \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-veterans-pact-act-2ab6457c343a00f4966f67f3572ab50a\">expanded health care benefits for veterans.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House hasn’t disclosed specific proposals that will be in this year’s speech.

Politicians bring guests to the gallery to put a face to whatever issue they want to highlight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House invites the most high-profile guests, who are often recognized during the president’s speech. So far, the White House has disclosed only one, \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/abortion-kate-cox-texas-exceptions-e85664b2ab76bcb689b1b91913d3e33e\">Kate Cox\u003c/a>, a Texas woman who was unable to get an abortion in her home state even though her health was in danger and her fetus had a fatal condition. \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/roe-biden-abortion-reproductive-rights-election-3d184285cc6edbe733311b26445db2a0\">Democrats are eager to demonstrate\u003c/a> how the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v.

After 1967, it was 100 percent-plus for Israel,” he says. “And now Israel is, I think, the only country that’s hard to draw on a map.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Has the two-state solution ever come close to reality?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>U.S. President Bill Clinton brought Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) leader Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin together in 1993 to negotiate the agreement that came to be known as the \u003ca href=\"https://history.state.gov/milestones/1993-2000/oslo\">Oslo Accords\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In it, Israel officially recognized the PLO as the representative of the Palestinian people and a partner in future negotiations, and the PLO renounced terrorism and recognized Israel’s right to exist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal raised expectations for a two-state solution. But it quickly \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/10/19/1206720312/biden-israel-palestinians-presidents-mideast-peace\">began to unravel\u003c/a> after a series of events, including a 1994 attack on a mosque in Hebron by an American Jewish settler and Rabin’s assassination in 1995 by an Israeli settler opposed to the agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost immediately after the Oslo Accords were signed, Israel enhanced its policy of fragmenting Gaza from the West Bank and East Jerusalem, says Atalia Omer, a professor of religion, conflict and peace studies at the Keough School of Global Affairs at the University of Notre Dame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, Israeli settlements continued to proliferate in the West Bank — on occupied land that the Palestinians hoped would be part of their state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that has continued in the years since. The population of Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, grew from 520,000 to more than 700,000 between 2012 and 2022, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ohchr.org/en/news/2023/03/human-rights-council-hears-current-israeli-plan-double-settler-population-occupied\">U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Settlements continue to eat into Palestinian spaces,” Omer says. “And over the course of the 30 years since the Oslo Accords — signed in the White House in September 1993 — the settlements completely prevented the possibility of a contiguous sovereign Palestinian state within that two-state framework.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What are the other obstacles?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Discussions of a two-state solution center on a number of core issues, as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/what-us-policy-israeli-palestinian-conflict#chapter-title-0-1\">Council on Foreign Relations\u003c/a> explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One is how exactly the borders would be drawn. Most international diplomacy favors Israel reverting to a version of its pre-1967 borders, without a consensus on how that would account for the Palestinians living within those borders or the Jewish Israelis beyond them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Israel has annexed the whole city of Jerusalem as its capital, while Palestinians claim East Jerusalem as the capital of their state — which makes for another logistical question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s also the major question of Palestinian refugees of the wars of 1948 and 1967. The survivors and their descendants live mostly in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria and claim the right to return to Israel based on a 1948 \u003ca href=\"https://www.unrwa.org/content/resolution-194#:~:text=The%20United%20Nations%20General%20Assembly,not%20to%20return%20and%20for\">U.N. General Assembly resolution\u003c/a>. Israel views that right to return as a threat to its existence as a Jewish state and believes those refugees should go to the Palestinian state instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Security looms large, too. Israel views certain Palestinian militant groups as existential threats — including Hamas, which governs Gaza and whose \u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-39775103\">founding charter\u003c/a> called for the obliteration of Israel — and wants them to disarm. Israel wants to maintain the ability to act in Palestinian areas against security threats. Palestinians want an end to Israel’s military occupation and full control over their own security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both sides want recognition of their respective states by the other and the international community. Palestinians also want acknowledgment of and redress for their forced displacement, Omer says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There needs to be a recognition and kind of naming, and then put in place mechanisms to redress — how can Palestinians be compensated for historical injustice they experienced — and then figure out ways of respecting Jewish citizens in the space through principles of equality and democracy,” Omer says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Where did peace negotiations stand before this war?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There has been little progress since the turn of the millennium. The collapse of the 2000 peace process fueled the \u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/2018/11/20/18080066/israel-palestine-intifadas-first-second\">Second Intifada\u003c/a>, a major Palestinian uprising in the Israel-occupied Palestinian territories and Israel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It ended in 2005 with some 1,000 Israelis and 3,200 Palestinians dead, along with heightened skepticism of the peace process on both sides. Those feelings seem to have prevailed in the years since, which have been marked by terrorist attacks, military raids, rocket fire, border clashes and \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/07/world/middleeast/israel-gaza-conflict-timeline.html\">other incidents\u003c/a>.

After 1967, it was 100 percent-plus for Israel,” he says. “And now Israel is, I think, the only country that’s hard to draw on a map.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Has the two-state solution ever come close to reality?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>U.S. President Bill Clinton brought Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) leader Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin together in 1993 to negotiate the agreement that came to be known as the \u003ca href=\"https://history.state.gov/milestones/1993-2000/oslo\">Oslo Accords\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In it, Israel officially recognized the PLO as the representative of the Palestinian people and a partner in future negotiations, and the PLO renounced terrorism and recognized Israel’s right to exist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal raised expectations for a two-state solution. But it quickly \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/10/19/1206720312/biden-israel-palestinians-presidents-mideast-peace\">began to unravel\u003c/a> after a series of events, including a 1994 attack on a mosque in Hebron by an American Jewish settler and Rabin’s assassination in 1995 by an Israeli settler opposed to the agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost immediately after the Oslo Accords were signed, Israel enhanced its policy of fragmenting Gaza from the West Bank and East Jerusalem, says Atalia Omer, a professor of religion, conflict and peace studies at the Keough School of Global Affairs at the University of Notre Dame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, Israeli settlements continued to proliferate in the West Bank — on occupied land that the Palestinians hoped would be part of their state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that has continued in the years since. The population of Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, grew from 520,000 to more than 700,000 between 2012 and 2022, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ohchr.org/en/news/2023/03/human-rights-council-hears-current-israeli-plan-double-settler-population-occupied\">U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Settlements continue to eat into Palestinian spaces,” Omer says. “And over the course of the 30 years since the Oslo Accords — signed in the White House in September 1993 — the settlements completely prevented the possibility of a contiguous sovereign Palestinian state within that two-state framework.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What are the other obstacles?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Discussions of a two-state solution center on a number of core issues, as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/what-us-policy-israeli-palestinian-conflict#chapter-title-0-1\">Council on Foreign Relations\u003c/a> explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One is how exactly the borders would be drawn. Most international diplomacy favors Israel reverting to a version of its pre-1967 borders, without a consensus on how that would account for the Palestinians living within those borders or the Jewish Israelis beyond them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Israel has annexed the whole city of Jerusalem as its capital, while Palestinians claim East Jerusalem as the capital of their state — which makes for another logistical question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s also the major question of Palestinian refugees of the wars of 1948 and 1967. The survivors and their descendants live mostly in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria and claim the right to return to Israel based on a 1948 \u003ca href=\"https://www.unrwa.org/content/resolution-194#:~:text=The%20United%20Nations%20General%20Assembly,not%20to%20return%20and%20for\">U.N. General Assembly resolution\u003c/a>. Israel views that right to return as a threat to its existence as a Jewish state and believes those refugees should go to the Palestinian state instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Security looms large, too. Israel views certain Palestinian militant groups as existential threats — including Hamas, which governs Gaza and whose \u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-39775103\">founding charter\u003c/a> called for the obliteration of Israel — and wants them to disarm. Israel wants to maintain the ability to act in Palestinian areas against security threats. Palestinians want an end to Israel’s military occupation and full control over their own security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both sides want recognition of their respective states by the other and the international community. Palestinians also want acknowledgment of and redress for their forced displacement, Omer says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There needs to be a recognition and kind of naming, and then put in place mechanisms to redress — how can Palestinians be compensated for historical injustice they experienced — and then figure out ways of respecting Jewish citizens in the space through principles of equality and democracy,” Omer says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Where did peace negotiations stand before this war?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There has been little progress since the turn of the millennium. The collapse of the 2000 peace process fueled the \u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/2018/11/20/18080066/israel-palestine-intifadas-first-second\">Second Intifada\u003c/a>, a major Palestinian uprising in the Israel-occupied Palestinian territories and Israel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It ended in 2005 with some 1,000 Israelis and 3,200 Palestinians dead, along with heightened skepticism of the peace process on both sides. Those feelings seem to have prevailed in the years since, which have been marked by terrorist attacks, military raids, rocket fire, border clashes and \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/07/world/middleeast/israel-gaza-conflict-timeline.html\">other incidents\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"‘As a fundamental proposition, it’s hard to have productive peace talks when no side sees either urgency or necessity to reach an agreement.’","name":"pullquote","attributes":{"named":{"size":"medium","align":"right","citation":"Jon Alterman, director, Middle East Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>“As a fundamental proposition, it’s hard to have productive peace talks when no side sees either urgency or necessity to reach an agreement,” says Alterman, of the Center for Strategic and International Studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says that from an Israeli perspective, security was improving, Palestinian demands were diminishing and it would be politically divisive to make concessions to them.
