Obama backs Arab revolts, calls to end Israeli occupation

U.S. President Barack Obama on Thursday backed the changes in the Arab world and presented his vision on the path to Israeli-Palestinian peace. Obama, in his much-anticipated speech, praised popular protests sweeping the Middle East as a "historic opportunity" and said promoting reform was his administration's top priority for the region.

He also piled up pressure on Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, saying for the first time that he must stop a brutal crackdown or "get out of the way."
