U.S. post-mortem on peace talks: Israel killed them

Americans involved in Kerry initiative give interview indicting Netanyahu government and exonerating Palestinian leader Abbas.
Yedioth Ahronoth’s Nahum Barnea, Israel’s No. 1 print journalist, has a long interview on Friday with unnamed U.S. officials involved in the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, giving their view of why they failed. The interview is quite a bombshell, as well as a historic document. (Hours after this post went online, Yediot translated the interview and put it up on its English-language website.) 
The quote from the Americans that’s likely to make the most news is this:

It seems we’re in need of another intifada to create the circumstances that will allow for progress.
