Yasser Arafat was deeply disappointed by the failure of the Camp David Summit in 2000. In the days following the summit, he issued a statement blaming the failure of the talks on the Israeli government's unwillingness to compromise on key issues such as the status of Jerusalem, the right of return for Palestinian refugees, and the borders of a future Palestinian state. He also accused the Israeli government of unilaterally changing its positions throughout the talks, making it impossible for the Palestinians to reach an agreement.
