Why did the negotiation fail? Many disagreements would arise in the 2000 Camp David Summit negotiation process that would ultimately lead to failure. Disagreements such as the division of territory, the dispute over Jerusalem, security and refugee arrangements arose during the negotiations. Unfortunately, this document cannot explain all the disagreements, it will mention a few. Most of the criticism for the failure of the Camp David summit in 2000 was leveled at Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat. In The Missing Peace: The Inside Story of the Fight for Middle East Peace by Dennis Ross, Dennis Ross states that Yasser Arafat entered the Camp David negotiations with an all-or-nothing mindset, such as "if the demands were not those of Arafat, he would not do it. accept it.” He says he wouldn't have any of it if it wasn't what he wanted. In this book, Dennis Ross stated that Yasser Arafat wanted a "one-state solution" instead of adjacent Israeli and Palestinian states, but a single Arab state encompassing all of historic Palestine. Arafat's refusal to accept any offer that did not correspond to what he wanted led to the failure of the Camp David summit in 2000. The disagreement over the "right of return" was one of many reasons why negotiations failed at the Camp David summit in 2000. This disagreement correlates with the one above, due to Arafat's all-or-nothing mentality; he turned this easily negotiable agreement into one that would disrupt negotiation. The Palestinians insisted on the “right of return” of all dispersed Palestinians to return to their former homes in Israel proper. Israel would refuse this request; Israel in its proposal, a maximum of 100,000 refugees would be allowed to return to Israel, however, at that point...... middle of paper ......d they will receive, whether a good soil or bad soil. One problem that the setting failed to address was the “right of return.” The parameter states that Palestinians should give up their claim to an unlimited “right of return” to Israel proper. This "right of return" issue was one of the main reasons why the Camp David Summit negotiations in 2000 failed, and as these parameters still have not found a solution to this issue, they were doomed to failure. Another problem that the Parameters have failed to find a solution to is that of sovereignty over the Temple Mount. As lenient as Israel was at the Camp David Summit, they were firm on one issue; this issue was sovereignty over the Temple Mount. Israel wants full sovereignty over the Temple Mount, since this parameter would give Palestinian sovereignty, Israel should reject this parameter..
