===Camp David Summit===
From 11 to 25 July 2000, the [[2000 Camp David Summit|Middle East Peace Summit at Camp David]] was held between the United States [[President of the United States of America|President]] [[Bill Clinton]], Israeli Prime Minister [[Ehud Barak]], and [[Palestinian Authority]] Chairman [[Yasser Arafat]]. The talks ultimately failed with each side blaming the other. There were five principal obstacles to agreement: borders and territorial contiguity, [[Positions on Jerusalem|Jerusalem]] and the [[Temple Mount]], Palestinian refugees and their [[Palestinian right of return|right of return]], Israeli security concerns and Israeli settlements. Disappointment at the situation over the summer led to a significant fracturing of the PLO as many Fatah factions abandoned it to join Hamas and Islamic Jihad.<ref name="Rosen" />

On 13 September 2000, Yasser Arafat and the [[Palestinian Legislative Council]] postponed the planned unilateral declaration of an independent Palestinian state.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0009/10/sm.07.html |title=Palestinian Parliament Expected to Not Declare an Independent Palestinian State |date=10 September 2000 |publisher=CNN |access-date=28 September 2014 |archive-date=3 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303191541/http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0009/10/sm.07.html }}</ref>
