What Happened at Camp David?

from History As It Happens Hosted by Mark LeVine

Subscribe today for ad-free listening! The Oslo Peace Process seems like ancient history. Today, a truly just and durable peace between Israel and the Palestinians appears impossible, as Gaza has been destroyed and Jewish settler-terrorists rampage through the West Bank with the support of their state. President Trump's vision for Gaza may render any surviving Palestinians as second-class citizens. A quarter-century ago, in the summer of 2000, President Bill Clinton brought Israeli and Palestinian leaders together at Camp David to try to resolve the most difficult problems standing in the way of peace. To this day, each side blames the other for the summit's collapse. What really happened there? Our guest is historian Mark LeVine at the University of California, Irvine.
