Oslo Peace Accords 1993 James Baker, US Secretary of State “Israel should abandon its expansionist policies” Predicated on the Two State Solution’ model and recognition Israel by Arafat. Palestine gains control of civil affairs. Israel would then cede territory to Palestine "We who have fought against you, the Palestinians, we say to you today, in a loud and a clear voice, enough of blood and tears ... enough!

Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin Rabin proceeded with the Oslo process despite protest and resistance within and outside of Israel 4 November 1995, by Yigal Amir an Israeli Zionist Rabin succeeded by Netanyahu as PM “Rabin removed from Jewish tradition and Jewish values.”

2000 Camp David Summit Palestinian state split into 3–4 parts containing 92% of the West Bank including parts of East Jerusalem, and the entire Gaza Strip. 69 Jewish settlements would be ceded to Israel, no right of return to Israel, no sovereignty over the Temple Mount or any core East Jerusalem. PLO fails to make a counter proposal Arafat and Barak fail to secure and agreement

2001 Taba Summit Israel proposes the removal of all settlements Agreement reached between Arafat and Barak Barak defeated by Ariel Sharon in next election Talks do not resume “We have never been closer to reaching an agreement and it is thus our shared belief that the remaining gaps could be bridged with the resumption of negotiations following the Israeli elections."

2014 Gaza War July 2014, 3 Israelis abducted and killed Israel crackdown on Hamas leadership sparks intensifies rocket fire from Gaza Israel launches 7 week bombing campaign

International Criminal Court ICC deals with war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity Frustration with peace negotiations led to strategy of ‘internationalizing the issue’ Palestine submits claims for the 2014 events Israel not a member of ICC

Looking Forward Israel faces limited significant pressure from the international community to alter its policies Trump threatens to move US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem The War on Terror narrative has proven more persuasive than a solution
