- September 1999, the Israeli Government and the PLO signed the Sharm el-Sheikh Memorandum
- March through June 2000, Intensive working-level talks between the Israeli Government and the PLO
- July 2000 Camp David meeting. Despite unprecedented Israeli proposals, Arafat rejected all and walked out
- January 2001 Taba Conference. Last gasp of the Oslo process after start of the al-Aqsa intifada
Thomas Friedman of the New York Times gave this wrap-up of the peace process, after Taba and Arafat’s speech at Davos:
- The Olso peace process was about a test. It was about testing whether Israel had a Palestinian partner for a secure and final peace. It was a test that Israel could afford, it was a test that the vast majority of Israelis wanted and it was a test Mr. Barak courageously took to the limits of the Israeli political consensus – and beyond. Mr. Arafat squandered that opportunity.
