White House official: No country can take over US peace role

More from the senior White House official on the stalled peace process:

The official dismisses the notion that any European countries can replace the US as peace mediators.

“There isn’t a single European country or other country we’ve spoken to since the December 6th announcement that in any way, shape or form believes a US-led process could be replaced. They all want to work with the US, despite the Palestinian reaction,” he tells reporters.

“I don’t think anybody believes the US can be replaced in this process. Frankly I don’t believe the Palestinians believe the US can be replaced in this process.”
