 يوم التسجيل الخاصة له وانتو قستة فكتوريا هو قراريحة لعباء الناس وشكرا لكالتحامünden بيس في الشرطة المرامة وفي مولا لتبدأ من مولانا الهوية ترى أن برسلانا تبدون أساسي كان الأمريانه يوجد قاعدة أمريكان them قاعدة رسولها إنهم يستمرون أنا أعجب أن أكون أعجباً و أنت أعجبك أبداً شكراً لك my name is Joe Biden I am Joe Biden's husband she has been here twice before me and before I began I'd like to say that an old expression hope springs eternal I I my background and the background of my family is Irish American and we have a a long history of not fundamentally unlike the Palestinian people with Great Britain and their attitude toward Irish Catholics over the years for 400 years but a colleague when I was a U.S. Senator used to always joke with me that I was always quoting Irish poets when I was on the floor of the Senate and I thought I did it because I'm Irish that's not the reason I did it I did it because they're the best poets in the world and there's a great poem from the Curitroy a paragraph that goes like this and it's classically Irish but it also could fit Palestinians it says history teaches us not to hope on this side of the grave but then once in a lifetime that long for tidal wave of justice rises up and hope and history rhyme hope and history rhyme hope and history rhyme is my prayer that we're reaching one of those moments where hope and history rhyme are there any nurses in the room because there's not I'm going home if there any angels in heaven no no no I'm being this sincerely from the bottom of my heart my wife and daughter were killed and my boys were trapped in a vehicle for three hours when a tractor-trailer hit them the doctors saved their lives but the nurses made them want to live cared for them every day knew when they were ready when they weren't ready I was making a speech and I had a terrible headache excuse me a terrible headache and I had a terrible headache it was years ago and I did a very stupid thing but I got on an aircraft and I flew home turned out I had two cranial aneurysms and I got rushed to a hospital in the middle of a snowstorm for a nine and a half hour operation and I saved my life then I had the second operation they found an aneurysm on the other side of my brain I joked the reason they went in twice to take the top of my head off as they couldn't find a brain the first time but in between I had a major embolism and almost killed me nothing unusual that other people haven't gone through but I look back and I don't think you nurses are nearly appreciated enough what I found was you lie in the ICU and I've not said this publicly before and you look at the monitors and you know if the line goes flat you're dead you don't know which monitor is but you know and I really mean it but you just get tired even when you're not in pain and you just want to quit and the nurses at Walter Reed Hospital would come up and they'd rub my face they'd whisper in my ear they'd get close and tell me couldn't be okay they made a difference in my life my son spent a year in Iraq he was the attorney general of the state of Delaware he should be the man standing here talking to his president not me he came home because he his where he slept for a year in Iraq was about 150 yards from a burn pit where they burned everything from fuel to garbage he went the fittest guy in his regiment and came home with stage four glioblastoma I watched for 14 months the nurses take care of him the doctors as well but every day every single day and so I really mean it from the bottom of my heart nurses doctors are critical I'm not in any way diminishing the role of the doctor but nurses nurses give you as much hope male and female as anybody else does I want to thank the CEO and everyone at East Jerusalem hospital network for welcoming me this morning this is the first time I had the opportunity to see for myself the outstanding work that you do here that I've heard about for such a long time my wife Jill visited in both 2010 and 2016 and I'm honored to be able to see firsthand the service and the quality of care you provide the palestinian people these hospitals are the backbone of the palestinian healthcare system people turn to you in their moment of need as you well know with their children who are sick the love one who's injured when they get that cancer diagnosed the most feared word I think in all languages as the doctor looks at you says it's cancer they don't know what to do you not only care for them you guide them it's the same people all over the world in that moment all the matters you have someone that you can turn to and radiate hope and help that's why the united states of the agency for international development has been proud has been proud to support this network of hospitals with 85 million dollars since 2014 it's part of our commitment to support health and dignity for the palestinian people maybe the most overused phrase word English language for the irish is dignity my dad used to say everyone no matter what their circumstance is entitled to be treated with dignity dignity in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic took a hard toll here as it did in so many communities around the world so today I'm pleased to announce the united states is committing an additional 100 million dollars to support these hospitals your staffs and that work for the palestinian people this is a multi-year commitment on both resources and expertise when I was vice-president I asked the president then Barack Obama I asked him whether or not I could start when we called a cancer moonshot I visited every major cancer hospital in the world in one exception and I mean it literally because there's so much so much we're just on the edge of being able to discern we're so close dealing with so many cancers when I got elected president announcing one of my goals was to change cancer as we know it so it was no longer viewed by many people as it is as a death sentence but as a disease that can either be cured or lived with and we started this cancer moonshot with billions of dollars at home within our national institute of health I set up a provision where like within the defense department there's a special office in the defense department it's nothing but looking at breaking technologies whether it's just across the board that's where the internet came from while doing the same thing at the national institute of health just focusing on cancer period this one provision it represents our investment in the future as you're this hopefully this 100 million dollars will generate other large countries from other countries focusing on the health of the palestinian people so they continue to have access to the best available care so they know they have somewhere to turn for help they have navigators that can help them through the process those of you on the other side of a diagnosis know the most frightening thing is when you get the word whatever it is you can hardly listen you need someone to help you walk through the pieces help you figure out how to deal with the treatment you're going to have once you're out of the hospital need treatment working together is my prayer the united states will both help relieve the hospitals burden of debt and support the target infrastructure upgrades and key reforms in patient care to ensure long term financial stability we also welcome the 25 million dollar contribution from the UAE and I encourage other nations around the region and around the world to step up as well with their own contributions to support the vital work that's being done here palestinians and Israelis deserve equal measure of freedom security prosperity and dignity and access to health care when you need it is essential to living a life of dignity for all of us the united states will continue to work the palestinian leadership with the government of israel and all our international partners to ensure that each truism hospital network retains sustainable remains available and is able to provide high quality care the palestinian people deserve I could say much more but if my mother were here she'd look at me and say Joey hush up you've spoken too long but I want to thank you again for welcoming me today most importantly thank you for taking care of all the patients all the patients who's lives you make better may god bless you all and I'm finished thank you I have a question about hospitals answer if you don't I'll do it privately in intensive care unit at mokased husmet thank you for your support but we need more justice more dignity and thank you thank you thank you folks appreciate it very very much so that was the president of the united states speaking just outside of the west bank
