Nahum Barnea of Ynet.com had an exclusive interview with a high American official about the failure of the Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations.  The interview was remarkable in its candor, and, for the first time, the US placed the failure of the negotiations squarely on the issue of the Israeli settlements.  There is a great deal of speculation about who the official was, and I am certain we will be learning more about the interview in the days to come.  But there is little question that the US will not be trying to get the two sides together anytime soon, and, unless the settlement issue is addressed by the Israelis, not during the remainder of the Obama Administration.
