"Barak is preparing to return home at the soonest moment after it became clear to him that the Palestinians are not a true partner for peace," an Israeli source, close to the Israeli negotiating team, told Reuters.  

Israel was warning the Palestinians "not to take unilateral steps or inflame violence in the region," the source added -- (Several Sources)
