ABC News' Jake Tapper and Sunlen Miller report:
In Egypt, after his speech at Cairo University, President Obama sat down for thirty minutes with seven regional reporters: one from Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Egypt, Israel, Malaysia, Indonesia and one Palestinian reporter.
Of the peace process, the president said "I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu will recognize the strategic need to deal with this issue. And that in some ways he may have an opportunity that a labor or more left leader might not have."
Continued the president: "There's the famous example of Richard Nixon going to China. A Democrat couldn't have gone to China. A liberal couldn't have gone to China. But a big, anti-communist like Richard Nixon could open that door. Now, it's conceivable that Prime Minister Netanyahu can play that same role.”
