You're talking about the failed camp david summit right?

Then have a look at Robert Malley's POV on that... he wrote a lengthy bit of insightful comments in the NYT after that, blaming all 3 parties on the failure (Arafat, Barak and Clinton) and not just Arafta as was reported by the mainstream press.

Now, what's very interesting is even though Malley has been reported as an anti-Israel, Hama-loving person, Obama appointed him as a principal foreigh policy advisor.

So, as someone pointed out in this threat, Israel's unilateral ceasefire and Obama's taking the presidency could well not be mere coincidence...
