TCM had wanted to revive the “peace process,” but, as with so many of his initiatives, he’s undermined his own efforts
Paul Mirengoff at Power Line says that TCM’s insistence on a complete settlement freeze has resulted in a squandering of goodwill toward him among the Israeli public. In Mirengoff’s words, the upshot is that “the US is now a bit player” in Israeli-Palestinian relations.

Perhaps it’s not so bad, being a bit player in the Middle East. Betcha we get bit anyway when it all blows our way.

Well, maybe so, given the kind of influence TCM wanted to wield.

We’ve been bit over “there” before.
