John Kerry actually said...

"I speak with great respect for President Obama and Senator George Mitchell, but also great disappointment over what can most gently be described as meager results of American diplomacy this past year."

"The fact is, most Israelis and Palestinians still recognize that a two-state solution remains the only workable solution and the only just solution."

"In President Abbas and Prime Minister Fayyad, I am convinced we have genuine partners for peace."

"When President Abbas says he doesn't want to engage in direct negotiations, we may lament it, but this is the cry of the last true believer, on the Palestinian side, in negotiations."
