BEIRUT, Lebanon — Secretary of State John Kerry’s harsh words for Israel echoed across the Arab world on Thursday, earning praise from some governments long frustrated with American support for the Jewish state while eliciting shrugs from others who believe the tough talk was too little, too late.

Underlying those reactions, analysts said, was the knowledge that the Palestinian issue does not resonate as strongly among Arabs as it used to, and that Mr. Kerry’s proposals will almost surely have no impact on the administration of President-elect Donald J. Trump, who has not expressed even token support for the idea of a Palestinian state.

Nasser S. Judeh, the foreign minister of Jordan, said Mr. Kerry, in his speech on Wednesday, had offered an “impartial” and “well laid out” vision for a peace settlement. “The world agrees with that,” he wrote on Twitter.

Officials of Arab governments that have never recognized Israel and regularly criticize its treatment of the Palestinians also praised the speech, including those of Qatar, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
