“Americans are not your enemy”

Obama does his first interview on Arab TV

U.S. President Barack Obama has sat down for a long interview with Al Arabiya, a Dubai-based television news network: “I think it is possible for us to see a Palestinian state—I’m not going to put a time frame on it—that is contiguous, that allows freedom of movement for its people, that allows for trade with other countries, that allows the creation of businesses and commerce so that people have a better life.” President Obama also renewed his commitment to “address the Muslim world from a Muslim capital.”
