WASHINGTON, DC – In his landmark speech at the Grand Hall of Cairo University, US President Barack Obama set out to change Muslim and Arab perceptions of the United States.

One clear message that President Obama conveyed is that the road to regional stability requires a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
