"America has a vital role to play as an energetic and effective broker, ensuring that both sides make good-faith proposals that bring the parties closer to peace."

"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."
