	Camp David 2000 Summit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Building on the positive steps towards peace of the earlier 1978 Camp David Accords where President Jimmy Carter was able to broker a peace agreement between Egypt, represented by President Anwar Sadat, and Israel represented by Prime Minister Menachem Begin.
		And, it sought to build on the momentum of the earlier peace negotiations that led to the Oslo Accords of 1993 between the later assassinated Israeli Prime Minister Yitschak Rabin and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat.
		According to both Ambassador Dennis Ross and Robert Malley, key American participants in the Camp David summit, Yasser Arafat claimed at one point in the negotiations that the holy Jewish Temple was not in Jerusalem at all, but in the West Bank city of Nablus.

		Accordingly, Arafat's refusal to even begin to compromise at Camp David II despite Israeli willingness to withdraw from roughly 90 percent of the West Bank and to divide Jerusalem came as a shock to both Americans and Israelis.
		Similarly, on the Palestinian track, the best estimate of the deal that began at Camp David II and is still evolving through secret negotiations is for Israel to withdraw from territory equal to 100 percent of the West Bank and Gaza.

		And this raises a paradox, because, contrary to Camp David I between Carter, Sadat and Begin 22 years ago, which inaugurated a process of Arab states signing treaties with Israel, Camp David II is assumed to bring this process to its ultimate goal.
		It is a formula that runs counter to the logic of the Camp David II summit, which purports to be a forum for the final stage in the negotiation process between the parties.
		In the final analysis, the negotiations at the Camp David summit will continue to be determined by the balance of power between the protagonists, a notion that is had to reconcile with the requirements of a just peace.

		Even as the Camp David talks were going on, Iran tested a missile with a range of 1,300 kilometers - easily capable of striking Israel within minutes of launch.

		Israel's Camp David proposal, which was never set forth in writing, denied the Palestinian state viability and independence by dividing Palestinian territory into four separate cantons entirely surrounded, and therefore controlled, by Israel.
		The Camp David proposal also denied Palestinians control over their own borders, airspace and water resources while legitimizing and expanding illegal Israeli colonies in Palestinian territory.
		Israel's Camp David proposal presented a 'repackaging' of military occupation, not an end to military occupation.

	Camp David II:The Aftermath -- ADL Backgrounder
		Since King David established the city as the capital of the Jewish state circa 1000 BCE, it has served as the symbol and most profound expression of the Jewish people’s identity as a nation.
		At Camp David, the Palestinians clung to their maximalist position on sovereignty over East Jerusalem and the Old City, and refused to consider Israeli suggestions of limited sovereignty or jurisdiction over different areas of the city.
		At Camp David, Israel reportedly discussed redeploying from at least 88% of the West Bank and all of the Gaza Strip (some reports cite as much as a 95% withdrawal from the West Bank).

		In July President Clinton convened what is now called Camp David II to enable Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and their delegations to negotiate a framework agreement in preparation for a comprehensive Israeli-Palestinian peace treaty.
		So, while Camp David I provided Israel and Egypt with a peace treaty that has endured since 1978, it still remains to be seen whether or not Camp David II will provide Israelis and Palestinians the basis for a future agreement that will also stand the test of time.

	Camp David II: The Summit That Failed
		Even before Camp David, but if not before, certainly very quickly after it was convened, the limits to what, in particular, the Palestinians were prepared to do was becoming clear.
		Arafat would have to do, in the aftermath of Camp David, what he was unwilling to do in the run-up to Camp David, which was to create space for himself in the Arab and Islamic world and in the Palestinian world to compromise.
		And so as we move beyond Camp David, what concerns me is simply the incident that sparks, the politics on the Israeli side, and as we move toward September 13th, the potential for unilateral actions by the Palestinians, which I think would then trigger unilateral actions in response by the Israelis.

		It will be less than a miracle because the self-same circumstance, the weakness and desperation of one of the protagonists, which rescued Camp David I from highly probable disaster may very well do the same for Camp David II.
		The truth is that, with this false promise, Camp David I pioneered the one great, indispensable stratagem that has sustained the "peace process' to this day: the deferral of the most intractable issues to the end.
		Obeying the logic of "take what you can now and seek the rest later" which weakness thrust upon him, he acquiesced in accumulating concessions that only widened the gulf between what he was actually achieving and what he assured his people he would achieve, by this method, in the end.

		Of course, the whole purpose of Camp David II has been to get Arafat to essentially surrender while he is alive and to "end" the conflict on Israeli terms.

	Was Arafat the Problem? By Robert Wright
		If you want to see Camp David from Arafat's point of view, a better place to look is a New York Review of Books piece that appeared back in August and was co-authored by Robert Malley, special assistant for Arab-Israeli affairs in the Clinton administration.
		Malley was at Camp David and found Arafat's behavior there intensely frustrating, but he doesn't buy the interpretation that is favored on the right—that Arafat's rejection of the deal amounts to rejection of a two-state solution.
		David Horowitz, editor of the Jerusalem Report, recently said on the NPR show To the Point that Barak offered "basically all the territory the Palestinians were purporting to seek." This is a widely repeated claim—that Israel offered something like the "pre-1967 borders" that had long been the mantra of Palestinians who favored a two-state solution.

		With the exception of choosing Camp David as the convocation spot, there is nothing unusual about Clinton trying to orchestrate a comprehensive Middle East peace plan.
		Compared to the hands-on role Jimmy Carter had played in the Camp David Accords, Clinton was at best a genial facilitator, as evidenced by photos of the famous Arafat-Rabin handshake for peace, which showed a smiling Clinton hovering behind the two leaders.
		Choosing Camp David as the meeting grounds is more akin to rubbing a ceramic Buddha's belly and praying for luck than a grandstand display of presidential hubris.
