Obama's speech draws mixed reviews in Middle East

by: Salma bawazir
Obama’s speech address was with Palestinians and Israeli officials. Whereas Jewish group were upset because Obama spoke against settlement activity, it has found problems with the speech. The Hamas has mixed or negative views. The government of Israel articulated "hope that this important speech in Cairo will indeed lead to a new period of reconciliation between the Arab and Muslim world and Israel.”
Obama’s hope is that the American effort proclaims the beginning of a new time that will carry about an end to the disagreement and direct to Arab acknowledgment of Israel as the homeland of the Jewish people, living in peace and security in the Middle East," it said.
