Indeed, the Palestinians' principal failing is that from the beginning of the Camp David summit onward they were unable either to say yes to the American ideas or to present a cogent and specific counterproposal of their own.
Palestinian negotiators, with one eye on the summit and another back home, went to Camp David almost apologetically, determined to demonstrate that this time they would not be duped.

 Proposals for a Palestinian state
The current position of the Palestinian Authority as well as Israel is that the West Bank and Gaza should form the basis of a future Palestinian state.
The question of an army: Israel doesn't wish Palestine to build up an army capable of offensive operations, considering that the only party against which such an army could be turned in the near future is Israel itself.
However, Israel claims that the plan doesn't guarantee Israel's security as it returns Israel to its 12-mile "strategic depth", not mentioning the issue of refugees or Jerusalem; moreover Israel claims that when it came to negotiations, the Palestinian Authority has rejected very similar offers made during the Camp David talks.

 Palestine Center - Camp David Summit: Reading Between the Red Lines
In order for a new Camp David agreement to be successful, it must adhere to the principles of international legality—and therefore the concerns of the entire Palestinian population (inside and outside of the Occupied Territories)—so that it can be realistically implemented and can have lasting power.
For the Palestinians, a referendum on an agreement that defines their future homeland and turns the page on their disheartening past is far more urgent than an Israeli referendum about undoing an illegal occupation.
In comparison with Israel, Palestinian public opinion reflects a national yearning for independence and self-determination and for freedom from occupation in the spirit and logic of international legitimacy.

 Camp David Summit 2000
The Camp David Summit was convened by U.S. President Bill Clinton on July 11, 2000, to bring together Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Chairman Arafat at Camp David for intensive negotiations for a final status agreement.
Faced with criticism after abandoning the negotiations at Camp David and the turn to violence barely two months later, Palestinians publicly declared that the failure of Camp David was due to lack of preparation by the Americans, personality differences between Barak and Arafat, and by Barak's "take-it-or-leave-it" negotiating posture.
Instead, Camp David demonstrated that Arafat and the Palestinian leadership had unrealistic expectations that they could force Israel to concede to their maximalist demands without making important compromises of their own.
