Politico has an interesting summary of the Israeli / Palestinian talk collapse filling in some timelines to the analysis we previously presented.   Even if you are not a global political news junkie it’s worth the read.

While the Politico story doesn’t directly outline the ego of John Kerry as the impetus for the framework, and subsequent collapse, it’s still there and you can catch glimpses of it throughout the article.

Even among senior Obama aides, there’s disagreement about how wary the president actually was all along about taking another shot at the peace process, how much distance he was really trying to keep, and how much of his actions were about humoring an ambitious Kerry’s swing at the history books.

As we previously shared the entire construct of the Kerry spearheaded peace talks originated from Secretary Kerry’s desire to be something legendary, and do something on a grand scale worthy of his own opinion of himself.
John Kerry was not so much interested in the construct of Israeli security, or foundationally finding a substantive ‘two state’ solution; for Kerry -the ideologue- he wanted to carve the mold, and then watch the global media cast the brass bust.

In a broad sense John Kerry has spent his life as a man married into wealth and defined from behind the skirt of his wife and father-in-law.   Despite his rise in the political world everyone who looks at Ketchup Boy always know in the back of their mind he would not be where he is were it not for the family of Heinz’s.
At a 30,000 ft level this self-driven impetus is actually what precluded any Mid-East success from ever standing a chance.   The emphasis was on the wrong syllable.
