He hailed Quad as a mechanism that will contribute to peace and said he looked forward to attending the Quad Leaders' Summit in India next year.
Biden was speaking along with visiting Australian PM Anthony Albanese at the White House, where the two leaders reaffirmed their commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific and Aukus, the AustraliaUS-UK nuclear submarine deal that requires US Congress to pass the relevant legislation.
Speaking on the Israel-Hamas war, Biden said that he had spoken to several regional leaders, from Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Palestine, and Egypt in recent days, "about making sure there is real hope in the region for a better future; about the need - and I mean this sincerely - about the need to work toward a greater integration for Israel while insisting that the aspirations of the Palestinian people will be part of that future as well".
