Obama to offer financial aid to Arab world - Israel News, Ynetnews

Obama to offer financial aid to Arab world - Israel News, Ynetnews: "Obama is slated to offer Egypt 1$ billion in aid, at Cairo's request, by dropping former debts and providing incentives and guarantees for investments in work places and developing trade with the European Union. The process is to be gradual and will require political and financial reforms including a war on corruption.

Revolutions in the Middle East and North Africa are a historic opportunity to fulfill citizens' wishes for political freedom and financial opportunities, the president is expected to say.

Obama will add that after years of tensions, ending the war in Iraq and the elimination of Osama bin Laden were a chance for the US to turn over a new leaf in the Middle East."
