It's official: We have reached an impasse
'Top US officials' are now admitting that the 'Middle East peace talks' have reached an impasse. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with U.S. special envoy George Mitchell again Monday afternoon in an attempt to find a way to allow the Palestinians to return to the negotiating table. Senior U.S. officials admit that the talks have reached an impasse.It's a safe bet that Netanyahu is not going to yield on building in Jerusalem (he risks his own coalition if he does that) and therefore talks with the 'Palestinians' are unlikely to resume anytime soon.
What could go wrong?
This time I'm going to answer the question: With the Goldstone Report lurking out there possibly limiting Israel's defenses in the event that another round of violence starts, unfortunately, plenty can go wrong.

In the post-Goldstone era, the Palestinians have become more extreme and simultaneously Israel is no longer going to ever agree to the type of pullout it conducted in Gaza earlier in the decade. The prospects of a formal Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement are none for at least a generation.
