Israel doesn't want peace unless it gets to keep Jerusalem and all of the West Bank it wants.

The US is the BIGGEST impediment to real peace talks. The US provides resources and political cover to allow the Israelis to continue their brutal and illegal occupation. Israel has no reason to seek a just peace when it is getting everything it wants thanks to the US.
