US President Barack Obama on Thursday vowed to forge a "new beginning" for Islam and America in a landmark speech to global Muslims, evoking a vision of peace after smouldering years of "suspicion and discord."
In what may be a defining moment of his presidency, Obama laid out a new blueprint for US Middle East policy, vowing to buckle mistrust, forge a state for Palestinians and defuse a nuclear showdown with Iran.
In the domed Great Hall of Cairo University, Obama warned the US bond with Israel, the source of much Arab distrust of the United States, was unbreakable, and rejected "ignorant" rants by those who deny the Nazi Holocaust.
But, in a sharp break from the policies of his predecessor George W. Bush, Obama also rebuked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's refusal to halt settlement expansion on the West Bank.
