Did the PLO Reject a “Generous Offer” for Peace at Camp David in 2000?

Did the PLO Reject a “Generous Offer” for Peace at Camp David in 2000?

No. In fact, there was no Israeli “offer” at all, in the sense of a comprehensive plan to resolve all outstanding differences between the parties. To the extent that Israeli positions on discrete issues could be discerned, they were not “generous.” Finally, while Palestinian negotiators did not agree to Israeli demands, they did not “reject” them, but sought to continue negotiations, and offered solutions based on long-accepted principles of international law and justice.
