The peace conference convened in Camp David in July 2000, almost 13 years ago, was intended to bring the long-awaited end to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.
Then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak was the major initiator and instigator of this event, which was practically forced on late PLO leader Yasser Arafat. Then-US President Bill Clinton wasn’t too enthusiastic about it either, but he could not resist the passionate persuasiveness of indomitable Ehud Barak.
