Camp David Summit Ends Without Israeli-Palestinian Agreement

A trilateral statement on 25 July 2000 recorded that Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, meeting under US President Bill Clinton at Camp David, were "not able to bridge the gaps and reach an agreement". The parties committed to keep working toward a permanent-status deal, with Jerusalem among the hardest issues. Two months later the Al-Aqsa Intifada began, and the final-status peace Oslo promised has not been reached since.
