In the summer of 2000, talks were held at Camp David to reach a "final status" agreement on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.
The summit collapsed after Yasser Arafat would not accept a proposal drafted by American and Israeli negotiators.
Barak was prepared to offer the entire Gaza Strip, a Palestinian capital in a part of East Jerusalem, 73% of the West Bank (excluding eastern Jerusalem) raising to 90–94% after 10–25 years, and financial reparations for Palestinian refugees for peace.
Israel would therefore have gained an additional 6–10% of the West Bank, including more of East Jerusalem than previously held, and Palestinian leaders would have had to give up the Right of Return.
Arafat turned down the offer without making a counter-offer.
