Wishful thinking on your part. The Foreign Minister is not that powerful and, in this case, was not speaking for the government as a whole.
The peace process has been dead for a very long time. When it comes to the Palestinians it never really was alive. Unfortunately Israel's friends in the West haven't figured that out yet.

Yes, all true. But he’s just informed everyone that the emperor is butt nekkid, and perhaps thereby thrown a healthy bucket of cold water on the piece process, that can then melt into the puddle of brown “sugar” (something else that starts with “S”) it always was.
