Washington: United States President Barack Obama has said that Israel and Palestine have to resolve their conflicts collectively, and the US cannot help them because peace cannot forcibly impose on anyone.
While giving US major policy statement over Middle East and North Africa , Obama said on Thursday that peace cannot restore in the Middle East without accepting Israel’s existence.
Obama said status quo in Middle East and North Africa was not sustainable; stresses US opposes use of violence, aggression against people of the region. He said US top priority across the Middle East and North Africa is to support reform and that it will oppose the use of violence and oppression against protesters.
The US president says, “We face a historic opportunity. We have a chance to show that America values the dignity of a street vendor in Tunisia more than the raw power of the dictator.”
“US opposes the use of violence and aggression against the people of the region. The US supports universal rights and political and economic reform.”
Obama said the Arab revolution across the Middle East and North Africa speaks to a long lasting freedom that has built up for years and has led to the overturning of oppressors – without perhaps more to fall. He embraced the call for change and compared it to memorable moments of American history.
Obama also said that the surprising movements across the region show that authoritarianism will not work anymore.
A US official said that the Obama administration would focus on four major pillars for economic growth and stability. He said that the US will support better economic management, economic stability, and economic modernization and reform, helping to develop a framework for trade integration and investment in the Middle East and North Africa.
While giving special reference of the death of Osama bin Laden, Obama said, bin Laden was the biggest terrorist of the world and was not martyr. He said bin Laden was involved in killing of thousands of innocent people, and he was opponent of democracy.
He said the death of bin Laden was a great loss for al Qaeda, however, Taliban has been undermined in Afghanistan.
