Like I said, neocon advisers if not Jewish advisers wrote this speech. Of course Hamas was included in list of groups he mentioned must be defeated. He doesn't know what Hamas is. He's just reading the transcript.
The speech so far is pretty awkward and comes off a bit hostile.
I only joined midway in (I believe) but what I heard was more or less the right message. Combating terrorism and extremist ideologies on all fronts, empowering the people, focusing on economic, social and scientific prosperity, religious and ethnic coexistence, he made few points of the Arab world/Middle East being the cradle of civilization and a region that should lead by example and not be engulfed in perpetual conflict, highlighting the Mullah's destructive actions and influence in well-known regional countries, empowering women etc.
King Abdullah also made valid points in regards to Palestine, Jerusalem and he openly talked about the catastrophe that would be an Israeli annexation of East Jerusalem. Also highlighted the fact that there are almost 2 billion Muslims that are law-abiding citizens and who contribute to humanity on all fronts.
Now al-Sisi is speaking. Similar stuff and good points as well.
What did Trump say about Hamas?
Does anyone get what we were supposed to get out of this speech? No concrete proposals or suggestions, just the usual rhetoric. For example in regards to terrorism, let's say the Muslim side do their part, what will the Western allies compensate with? Or giving 'freedom' to the citizens, which is blanket suggestion of reforming Islam, then what will we get in return? If you want to make on ideology more moderate or liberal, you have to make all the others too. Tackle Zionism and right wing fascism too. But that won't happen, it's one sided and there is not a lot to gain for the Arab or Muslim world.
I don't think that we can expect anything groundbreaking from Trump or any other world leader for that matter. However it is positive that he is willing to engage with us to combat the challenges together.
I never saw Obama talk about those issues. He never even once joined a meeting where 50 + Muslim head of states were present to even discuss common challenges and propose solutions.
Al-Sisi talking about a two-state solution and the importance of it.
