Following the historic speech US President Barack Obama made in Cairo on Thursday, Palestinian analysts said they were waiting for President Obama's action but not the words.
"I like his speech, and the man is a good speaker and well-educated, mainly when he spoke about cultures, civilizations, history and religions, it shows that he has a very good knowledge about the Muslims and the Arabs," said Talal Oukal, a Palestinian political analyst of al-Aqsa university in Gaza.
President Obama's administration had discovered that some mistakes made in the past need to be corrected.
"The speech showed the American leader came now to emend the track of the history, mainly when he noted to the long conflict between the East and the West, or between the Arab and Muslim world and the United States," Oukal told Xinhua.
"But President Obama didn't bring anything new to previous statements he made to the mass media before he addressed his speech," said Oukal.
He added that President Obama's statements focused more on the situation in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq more than on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
The Palestinians, who have been suffering from the conflict with Israel over the past six decades, are more concerned to a solution of Palestinian-Israeli conflicts than other problems in Afghanistan, Pakistan or Iraq.
Since the international peace conference was held in Madrid in 1993, where Israel and the Palestinians inked Oslo interim peace agreement, and the Palestinians National Authority (PNA) was established, the Palestinians are still demanding for reaching a permanent solution and establishing their statehood.
The former and the current United States administrations have its own foreign policies to serve its interests, mainly the policies in the Middle East and the Arab world.
"All what he wants to do is to reform the US policy in away that serves the US interests, and all what he was interested in is building up partnerships and showed more concerns with democracy and human rights," said Oukal.
Hani Habib, another Palestinian academic at al-Azhar University, told Xinhua that concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict issues, "President Obama just spoke about two major issues that would end the conflict with Israel."
"First, stopping settlement activities and second establish a Palestinian state to live side-by-side with Israel," he added.
"President Obama spoke about the refugees' suffering but he didn't spoke about solving their problem, and when he focused on establishing a Palestinian state, maybe he meant that the refugees can return to their Palestinian state, without referring to their right of return to their homes in historic Palestine," said Habib.
The peace negotiations between Israel and the PNA had suspended last year after Israel decided to expand Israeli settlements in the area between Jerusalem and the West Bank city of Bethlehem.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas had clearly told President Obama in their last meeting that no talks before stopping settlement.
"If President Obama succeeds to help Israel and the Palestinians resume their peace negotiations, the question still remains, when exactly the talks will be resumed?" noted Habid.
Meanwhile, Habid also doubts about whether Israel would stop settlements in the West Bank and accept the two-state solution vision.
"I'm not so optimistic that a fair solution to the Palestinian cause is coming soon as we have a right-wing Israeli government that will reject any US pressure to stop settlement or accept the two-state solution, simply because this contradicts with the political platform of this government," continued Habib.
He added that "We either wait for the right-wing Israeli Government to change and deal with a government that accepts real peace with the Palestinians or just waste another four years and wait for another new US President."
