Israel, as much as the Palestinians, blocked both the George Mitchell and the John Kerry efforts to get a two state solution. In addition, Israel blocked the efforts of Condi Rice. The argument that Israel has been willing, but the Palestinians haven't is cherry picking history. There are strong forces in Israel that have fought every step of the way. Remember it was a right wing Israeli who killed Rabin, who was taking step towards an agreement.
