It wasn’t - at least not on the issue of drawing borders/lines.

Where it diverges? Obama demands Palestinians accept Israel’s right to exist (okay, that’s enshrined in Oslo, but it required restating once again).

The Palestinian-Israeli portion of the speech was a repackaging of US position on the conflict for the past 20+ years - at least as since Madrid.

See, that’s what I thought. It didn’t sound much different from the speeches I’d hear Clinton and Bush give.

That just makes the outrageous outrage irritating as well as confusing.
