When was it ever any of their jobs to negotiate a deal in the middle east? That is up to the State Department.
Just for the record I'd bet all three have been miserable failures at open heart surgery, auto mechanics, and fixing railroad locomotives.
Because that isn't their job!
It is a campaign fail, not a Senate fail as you correctly point out that it’s the administrations responsibility for the negotiations, of which the State department is but an appendage to, and the Senate to advise and consent on.
And while a Senator can stand up and declare themselves supporters of Israel with Jerusalem as it’s eternal capitol, a potential negotiator cannot. That is the fail. They fail before they even start. Thinking like a Senator, not like the Nations chief Executive.
What they really want is for all the Jews who immigrated to the land of Israel in the last century to just leave and go back to their former countries or whoever will accept them. This, of course, is not a vacation the Israeli Jews are planning.
There is an art or method when dealing with terrorists, and another when dealing with unhappy occupied populations. There is another when dealing with neighboring countries. Israel has to deal with all three.
