Kerry's own words:
Ben Cardin, Democrat of Maryland, countered by blaming the Palestinians for unilateral actions in seeking recognition before international bodies and refusing to recognize Israel as a Jewish state.In exchange for the deal being kept of the release of prisoners and not going to the U.N. Unfortunately, the prisoners weren’t released on the Saturday they were supposed to be released. And so day went by, day two went by day three went by and then in the afternoon when they were about to maybe get there, 700 settlement units were announced in Jerusalem. And poof! That was sort of the moment.
The State Department has already sought to cover for Kerry, saying he meant that both sides are to blame.
