The US efforts, led by Special Envoy George Mitchell, have shown clearly that the current ruling coalition in Israel is incapable of doing the minimum required for peace. The Obama administration staked its reputation on getting Israelis and Palestinians to agree at least on security and borders.
美国方面（以特使乔治·米歇尔为代表）所做出的努力明确表明：现有的以色列执政联盟根本无法满足和平的基本要求。奥巴马政府成功促使以巴双方在安全和边界方面达成共识，并以此赢得了声誉，但这样的结果充其量只是好坏参半的。
