Peace Negotiations
Camp David II (July 2000)
The Camp David II summit took place in July 2000 and involved Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat, and US President Bill Clinton. The summit did not conclude with an agreement and was followed by a systematic campaign in which Israel's position on key issues of the conflict was misrepresented as "generous", when in fact the borders and final status discussed fell far below the minimum requirements of international law and offered the Palestinians a future that looked like a permanent version of the network of checkpoints and cantons that Oslo introduced to the landscape.
