JERUSALEM, June 4 (UPI) -- Palestinian Authority negotiator Saeb Erekat Thursday said he fears U.S. President Barack Obama's speech in Egypt may have fallen on deaf ears.
Speaking shortly after Obama delivered his long awaited speech at Cairo University, Erekat said he had expected Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to respond officially to Obama's statements, instead of issuing a vague statement. Nonetheless he said, Obama's speech was a big step forward.
