Abstract: This paper is a study of the failed Israeli-Palestinian peace process between 1993-2000. The author explores four main questions. The first three questions are: 1) did the Oslo peace process (OPP) set the Israelis and Palestinians on a trajectory that "doomed" ... read moreCamp David peace negotiations of July 2000 (CD2) from the start?; 2) were there problems inherent to the process and structure of CD2 that led to its failure?; and, 3) how should future mediation attempts of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict be structured in order to meet with more success? The fourth question, however, requires further introduction. The study of CD2 will be guided by a Provisional Framework (PF) of seven criteria set out by the author as necessary ingredients to successful peacemaking processes. This framework was devised after consulting existing literature and scholars in the field of mediation and negotiation in general, as well as after reviewing scholarly pieces focusing on the Israel-Palestinian peace process in particular. After using this framework to analyze CD2, conclusions will be drawn with regard to a fourth and final question: is this prioritized framework an accurate and/ or useful tool for understanding peacemaking processes?read less
